The European Commission is closely monitoring Italy's decree limiting foreign students who struggle with Italian to 30% of a class. This affects many Romanian children, the largest group of foreign students in Italy. The opposition party raised concerns in the European Parliament, emphasizing that EU treaties prohibit discrimination based on nationality. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni defends the decree as a sensible measure for integration, arguing that too many non-Italian speakers hinder learning. Critics question the practicality of the rule, while Meloni also proposes banning Islamic veils in schools. Recent statistics show nearly 149,000 Romanian students in Italian schools, highlighting the demographic landscape of foreign students.
