Italy bans face coverings in schools, caps non-Italian-speaking pupils

Italy's government, led by PM Giorgia Meloni, approved new school regulations that ban face coverings (including burqas) and cap the number of students lacking fluent Italian. This marks a policy shift toward stricter integration measures, likely targeting Muslim communities and migrant students. The move is part of Meloni's broader nationalist agenda, but its implementation and legal challenges remain uncertain.
