Italy's Meloni to cap foreign pupils, ban burkas in schools

Italian PM Giorgia Meloni announced plans to introduce measures capping foreign pupils in classrooms, banning burkas and niqabs in schools, and mandating Italian lessons for parents of foreign students with integration difficulties. The proposal, aimed at her nationalist base, signals a tightening of integration policy but faces legislative hurdles and potential legal challenges. This marks a notable policy shift in Italy's approach to immigration and cultural integration.
