Italy to limit foreign students, ban burqa and hijab in schools

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Sunday that Italy will ban face coverings including burqa and hijab in schools and impose a limit on the number of foreign students allowed per classroom, speaking at a youth event hosted by her Brothers of Italy party."A measure will soon be presented to a Cabinet meeting to legally establish a maximum number of foreign students per class. It also requires parents of foreign students facing serious difficulties integrating into the school system to learn Italian and bans burqas and niqabs in schools," Meloni said."If there is only one child in a class who doesn't understand Italian, that child will likely be able to learn the language and integrate quickly with the help of classmates and teachers.
