France plans to set up high schools in Tokyo and other major cities abroad to conduct lessons in French, Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said Monday.
In the first round of the plan, France will also establish such schools in Munich, London and Cairo, Douste-Blazy said at a press conference.
Through cooperation with private organizations, the government hopes to spread French culture overseas and nurture elite people with a good command of French.
The government also plans to establish around the world organizations for introducing French culture and liaison offices for accepting applications from foreign students who want to receive advanced education in France, Douste-Blazy said. (Jiji Press)
