PoliticsMeloni government moves to ban burqas, cap foreign students in Italian schools

Italy’s government has adopted a decree-law banning burqas and niqabs in schools and capping non-Italian-speaking students at 30 percent of a classroom from next year. Breaches could draw fines of up to €1,000. Giorgia Meloni called the measures common sense, while opponents, unions and school leaders criticised the policy as impractical and politically driven.
