Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said her government will soon present a measure that would establish a maximum number of foreign students allowed in each classroom and ban burqas and niqabs in schools. The proposal was announced at a youth event organized by Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party in Rome.

The measure would also require Italian-language lessons for parents of foreign students who face serious difficulties integrating into the school system. Meloni argued that students who do not understand Italian can integrate when they are a small minority in a classroom, but that larger concentrations can make integration more difficult.

Meloni did not specify how many foreign students would be permitted in each class. Students who are not Italian citizens currently account for 11.6% of enrollment in Italian schools, according to Fondazione ISMU, a research institution cited by Reuters.

The proposed face-covering restriction specifically targets the burqa and niqab, which cover most or all of the face. Meloni did not mention the hijab, which covers the hair and neck but leaves the face visible. She said students should attend school with their faces uncovered and argued that no tradition should require young women to conceal themselves.

The proposal will still need to go through Italy’s legislative process. According to The Associated Press, once approved by the government, the measure would require parliamentary approval within 60 days to become law.
