France Seeks to Attract 30,000 Indian Students by 2030 with Affordable Education

France aims to increase Indian student enrollment to 30,000 by 2030, offering affordable higher education with maintained quality, as emphasized by President Emmanuel Macron. The French government subsidizes a significant portion of tuition fees, making public universities more accessible compared to countries like the US, UK, and Australia. Living costs vary by location, with Paris being more expensive, averaging around 1,000 euros monthly, while other cities average 800 euros. New measures include a five-year short-stay Schengen visa and international classes to support Indian students.
