Italy is preparing to ban face-covering veils such as the burqa and niqab, and any face veils in schools, and introduce a cap on the number of foreign students allowed in each class, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced on Sunday. A niqab covers the face apart from the eyes, and a burqa covers the face and body.
The measures, which Meloni said would be brought before the Cabinet, link immigration, language skills and integration in schools. She also said parents of foreign students struggling to integrate into the Italian education system would be required to learn Italian.

“A measure will soon be presented to a Cabinet meeting to legally establish a maximum number of foreign students per class. It also requires parents of foreign students facing serious difficulties integrating into the school system to learn Italian and bans burqas and niqabs in schools,” Meloni said, as quoted by Reuters.
“If there is only one child in a class who doesn’t understand Italian, that child will likely be able to learn the language and integrate quickly with the help of classmates and teachers. However, if the number of children who don’t understand the language becomes large – or even the majority – that is no longer integration; it is neglect,” she added.
Meloni said they are not assimilating, and she hopes this will help.
This makes me feel so sad. This whole account on TikTok is full of videos of this woman and her 2 small daughters. No matter what they are doing or where they are, indoors or outside all 3 of them are covered from head to toe with just their eyes showing. What mother would want… pic.twitter.com/1NxiHm9IOy
