Meloni Counts Immigrant Children in Italian Schools; Teachers Blame Systemic Decay

Teachers interviewed by Gazeta Wyborcza counter that the real problem is the crumbling state of the Italian school system, not student origins. The exchange signals a political debate over immigration and education, with the government's focus on demographics potentially overshadowing structural underfunding.
