The North Gyeongsang Provincial Office of Education announced Friday that eight high schools will be admitting a total of 56 foreigners next year.

High schools such as Gyeongju Girls' Information High School, Korea Marine Meister High School, Korea International Culinary Arts High School and Silla Technical High School will be on the list.
