"In didactic terms the issue is well-founded and understandable, but it is difficult to find a technical solution." This is explained by Antonello Giannelli, president of the National Association of School Principals (ANP), speaking about the cap on foreign students in classrooms, as indicated by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "Schools must accept enrolments from children in the neighbourhood, especially for nursery and primary schools," and "if foreigners are in the majority in that area, what do we do? Do we turn them away?" This is why the circular setting a 30% cap "has not been able to find application." "In any case, a circular is not a law, it has no binding force," Giannelli explains. "If a law is passed, we shall see."
School principals: 'Cap on foreign students is understandable but difficult to implement'
Giannelli, "the criterion is the proximity of the school, what do we do, do we send them away?"
