Italy plans burqa ban in schools, limits on foreign students
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government is preparing to propose a ban on burqas and niqabs in schools. The plan also includes capping the number of foreign students in classrooms and potentially requiring Italian language lessons for some parents. Meloni stated that individuals wishing to build a future in Italy must learn the language, understand the culture, and respect its rules. The government is reportedly preparing to bring the proposal to the cabinet, though it is not yet law.
