What is happening
According to la Repubblica, the Council of Ministers approved the school decree after Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara made final changes. The reported measures include limits on foreign students, a ban on burqas in schools and penalties for families. Meloni said the measures would prevent “ghetto classes”; Schlein contested the approach, describing it as a “witch hunt.”
Why is it on the Radar?
The decree could affect how schools manage student composition and families’ obligations, particularly where parents do not speak Italian. It has also prompted opposing political reactions.
