Italy Bans Burkas and Niqabs in Schools, Caps Foreign Students at 30%

Italy's government, led by PM Giorgia Meloni, has issued a decree banning full-face veils in schools and limiting foreign students without adequate Italian proficiency to 30% per class. The decree requires parliamentary approval within 60 days, leaving its final form uncertain. This marks a notable escalation in Meloni's immigration and integration policies, potentially affecting social cohesion and educational dynamics.
