Italy Bans Burqas in Schools and Limits Non-Italian Speakers per Class
Italy's government, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, has adopted a decree banning burqas and niqabs in schools and capping the number of students with limited Italian language skills at 30 percent per class. The measures aim to promote integration through language learning, with parents required to attend Italian courses if their children struggle. The decree has drawn support from Meloni's coalition but criticism from educators and opposition parties concerned about enforcement and potential segregation. The law takes immediate effect but requires parliamentary approval.
