Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has announced plans to ban burqas and niqabs in schools, cap the number of foreign pupils per class and make Italian lessons compulsory for some migrant parents, declaring that anyone who wants to build a future in the country must 'respect our rules'.
She set out the package in Rome on Sunday, saying language lessons would be mandatory for parents of foreign pupils facing 'serious difficulties integrating into the school system', alongside a proposed limit on the proportion of foreign children in each classroom.
