Italy to cap foreign students per class, ban face coverings in schools

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced a new set of school regulations aimed at promoting integration. The measures include a ban on face coverings such as burqas and niqabs inside classrooms. A cap will also be placed on the number of foreign students allowed per class. Additionally, parents of foreign students will be required to learn Italian as part of the integration effort. The government says the measures are intended to ensure Italian children do not feel like a minority in their own schools.
