Schools affected include： autonomous private high schools （not subject to government curriculum standards and that allow more freedom to students than conventional schools）; science high schools （that nurture gifted students in science）, and international high schools （that nurture gifted students with expertise in international relations）.

影響所及的學校包括：自律型私立高校（不受政府課程標準約束，允許學生擁有比傳統學校更多的自由）；科學高校（培養科學資優生）；國際高校（培養具國際關係專長的資優生）。

The policy will allow the schools to admit a "small" number of foreigners, with the exact number not specified. Schools that want foreign students can submit a study plan to the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education for review.

該政策將允許這些學校讓「少數」外國人就讀，確切人數還不詳。欲招收外國學生的學校可向首爾特別市教育廳提交研修計畫，以供審查。

A Seoul education authority official said authorization for foreign student enrollments will be given "after our review on certain criteria, such as whether the institution has a dormitory or a Korean language curriculum."

首爾教育當局一位官員指出，「在本局審查某些標準，例如該學校機構有無宿舍或韓語課程後」，將批准外籍生入學。
