Italy has banned burqas and niqabs in schools and introduced caps on the number of foreign students allowed per class. The move comes as Italy, a frontline country for migration into Europe, debates integration policies. With a general election due next year, immigration remains a central campaign issue, and the measures have drawn widespread attention and reaction.
Why now: Immigration and integration are hot political issues in Italy ahead of next year's general election.
