Italy Adopts School Burqa Ban, 30 Percent Cap on Foreign Students With Limited Italian
The package also provides language support for students and requires some foreign parents to attend free Italian courses or face fines.
The Italian cabinet has approved a decree banning face coverings such as burqas and niqabs during school activities. It also limits the share of foreign students with limited Italian-language skills in first-year classes to 30 percent. The measures aim to prevent the formation of “ghetto” classrooms and promote integration.
