Italy plans burqa ban in schools and foreign student caps
Original: Italy plans to ban burqas and niqabs in schools, as well as limit the number of foreign students in individual classroom
The Italian government is planning to ban burqas and niqabs in schools and to cap the number of foreign students allowed in individual classrooms. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni specifically referenced the face coverings worn by some women and girls. The proposals have drawn attention as part of a broader debate over immigration and religious expression in Italian public institutions.
Why now: The government's new proposals on religious dress and foreign student limits are controversial and touch on ongoing debates over immigration in Italy.
