I think attracting international students creates a pretty clear benefit for a nation, especially one like Tunisia, which has been developing its educational capacity in recent years. Tuition revenue is a small part of it - so small, in fact, that it makes more sense just to offer the education for free. According to Malek Kochlef, the country has a strategy to "reinforce the position of Tunisia as a destination for international students... We are developing a new program to attract international students, including paying their fees at public sector [universities]." This is smart - and much more likely to support the development of a modern technological economy than tax breaks and corporate giveaways.
