PoliticsMeloni accused of shifting right after ‘shameful’ cap on foreign children in classrooms

Rights campaigners accuse Giorgia Meloni’s Italian government of courting far-right voters before next year’s election by limiting classrooms to 30% of newly arrived pupils who lack adequate Italian and banning burqas and niqabs in schools. The government calls the measures commonsense integration tools; they are due to begin in the 2027-28 school year.
