Story summary

Giorgia Meloni, Prime Minister of Italy, announced on September 24 at a youth event organized by her right-wing Brothers of Italy party in Rome, plans to ban face coverings like burqas and niqabs in schools. She also proposed capping the number of foreign students per class, requiring parents of foreign students facing integration difficulties to learn Italian, and making it mandatory for students to attend school with their faces uncovered. Meloni emphasized that immigrants must learn Italian, understand Italian culture, and respect Italian rules if they want a future in Italy. This move is part of efforts to address the contentious issue of migrant integration amid high levels of immigration to Italy, due to its location in the central Mediterranean. The proposed measures need Cabinet approval before being presented to parliament for final passage within 60 days.
