What is happening
Meloni said students should attend school with their faces uncovered and that no one should be required to hide a young woman’s face in the name of tradition. She also proposed language-learning obligations for parents of foreign students with serious integration difficulties and criticized past approaches to education, which she described as a failure of the 1968 movement. The sources report these as announced measures, not as provisions already adopted.
Why is it on the Radar?
The announced proposals would affect school rules on face coverings, parental language requirements, and the composition of classes. The sources also report that Meloni accused Elly Schlein of lacking substantive arguments to criticize her.
