Italy's Meloni proposes school quotas for foreign-born students amid migration push
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni announced plans on Sunday to impose quotas on foreign-born students in classrooms, framing the measure as a response to concerns that Italian children feel marginalized. Speaking to her party’s youth section in Rome’s Eur district, Meloni proposed limiting the number of non-Italian students per class and requiring their parents to learn Italian, while also pledging to ban the burqa and niqab in schools. The remarks drew enthusiastic support from the audience.
The proposals target migration and integration, longstanding priorities for Meloni, despite foreign nationals comprising only 11.6 percent of Italy’s student population. Her speech came against the backdrop of Fascist-era architecture in the Eur district, a 1930s development built under Mussolini. Italian President Sergio Mattarella indirectly countered Meloni’s stance in his own back-to-school address, though without directly referencing her proposals .
French media reported that Meloni intends to approve a decree setting a cap on foreign students with limited Italian language proficiency, though details remain unclear. The proposal has already sparked criticism from opposition press .

In Italys schools, Meloni makes migrant kids pay the price for her culture war Italys far-right has taken its war on migration into the classroom, where children from foreign backgrounds are expected to have their numbers capped so as to not marginalise white Italian children, according to PM Giorgia Meloni. Taking cultural battles to the playground is below even the far-right, but beyond being childish, its lacking a leg to stand on.
