EU says it will scrutinize Italian govt's cap on foreign pupils

The European Commission is examining Italy's decree limiting foreign students with serious Italian-language difficulties to 30% in classrooms. EU Vice President Roxana Mînzatu emphasized that EU treaties prohibit discrimination based on nationality. The Commission is monitoring the situation closely, noting that such discrimination is only allowed under specific treaty exceptions. Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni defended the cap as a measure to promote integration and prevent 'ghetto classrooms'.
