Meloni offensive: limit of students from abroad families and ban on burqa and nikab in schools

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced a bill to introduce a limit of students from abroad families in 1 class. "It is not possible for Italian children in the Italian class to feel like they are in the corner due to the fact that they have become a minority," said the politician.

The bill besides provides for a ban on wearing in schools Muslim costumes covering the face – burki and nicab. The rules are besides intended to oblige parents of students with serious problems of integration into Italian.

The Prime Minister argued that with a tiny number of students who do not know Italian, integration is possible thanks to the aid of teachers and peers. In her opinion, with more specified students, this process ceases to work.

According to authoritative data, about 12% of Italian school pupils do not have Italian citizenship.
