Italy’s conservative government under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announces new rules for schools that limit non-Italian speakers’ use of other languages and restrict the wearing of veils in classrooms. The measures form part of a broader package aimed at changing how students participate in class, with a focus on language requirements.
The government says the rules are intended to strengthen integration by encouraging students to learn and use Italian more consistently. It also presents the restrictions as part of a wider approach to education and social cohesion. The initiative draws support from right-wing allies, according to reporting. Sources also frame the changes as part of Meloni’s broader political agenda, though specific details of how enforcement works and how schools will implement the policies are not outlined in the provided excerpts.
