Italy Proposes Ban on Burqas and Niqabs in Schools with Integration Measures
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has proposed legislation to ban burqas and niqabs in schools as part of broader measures addressing foreign student integration. The proposal includes limits on foreign student numbers per classroom and mandatory Italian language lessons for parents facing integration challenges. While Italy already restricts face coverings in some contexts, this would specifically target educational settings. The plan aligns with varying European approaches to full-face veil regulations and emphasizes language and cultural integration.
