Meloni Advances New Rules for Foreign Students in Italian Schools

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has proposed new regulations for foreign students attending Italian public schools. The measures focus on language proficiency requirements and integration standards. These changes are part of ongoing policy efforts related to immigration and education.

  • Emphasis placed on mandatory Italian language assessments and classes.
  • Policy applies to K-12 public schools across Italy.
