London & Partners suggest that International students contribute more than £2.5bn each year to the economy. Indian, Chinese students play a major part in this. However, there is dramatic decline in numbers of Indian students in the recent years. London attracts 25% of the UK's international students, but only 15% of its Chinese students. What do you think should be done to encourage increase in Indian and Chinese student numbers to achieve greater economic and other benefits for London?
