Italy's Meloni plans to limit foreign student numbers, ban face coverings in schools

Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni is preparing legislation to ban burqas and niqabs in Italian schools to better integrate foreign students and their families into society. Additionally, the government plans to limit the number of foreign students in schools, though this cap does not target universities. Announced during a Brothers of Italy party gathering in Rome, the proposal will be presented to the Council of Ministers and requires parliamentary approval before becoming official law in Italy.
