Foreign students boost South African economy
Exchange students contribute R1,7 billion to SA

Hundreds of foreign students coming to study at local educational institutions in SA contribute about R1,7 billion annually in foreign exchange.

Research by the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) found that these students spend almost R57 000 a year on food, travel, accommodation and tuition.

The director of the NMMU's Centre for Tourism Studies, Peter Myles, said: "On a national scale the spending of international students accumulated to about R1,7 billion of foreign exchange."

Myles said that at least 30 percent of the students traveled with their family and friends while they were in the country.

"Our research indicates that when the students'' relatives visit they spend between R5000 and R12 000 a week," Myles said.

He said that the number of students coming to the NMMU had increased from 300 to 1400 since the Centre for International Education had been formalized in 2000.

In 2002, there were 1067 foreign students and in 2003, 1193 were registered. Last year about 1297 students were registered at Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University.
