President Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday a significant initiative aimed at strengthening academic bonds between France and India. He expressed France’s ambitious goal of welcoming 30,000 Indian students to its universities by 2030. “30,000 Indian students in France in 2030. It’s a very ambitious target, but I am determined to make it happen,” President Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X.
He said that the country will be launching a new initiative ”French for All, French for a Better Future” to teach French in public schools.
“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,” Macron’s post reads.
