France to welcome 30,000 Indian students by 2030: President Macron on 75th Republic Day

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), the French leader shared the plan to invite around 30,000 students to study in France. "30,000 Indian students in France in 2030. It’s a very ambitious target, but I am determined to make it happen. Here’s how," Macron said.

The French president explained that how new centres with a network of alliances françaises and international classes are being developed in the country to learn French. He added that France would also facilitate visa process for Indian alumni in the country.

"Coming to France means looking for excellence. We are launching new pathways in order to learn French in public schools with the "French for All, French for a Better Future". We are developing the network of Alliances françaises, with new centers to learn French. We are creating international classes which will allow students, who do not necessarily speak French, to join our universities. Last but not least, we will facilitate the visa process for any former Indian students who studied in France," it said.
