Petition to Restore PTE Academic Access for Iranian Resident

Ali Amini

It is not fair to Iranian people

Erfun Azadi

As an international teacher trainer with more than +9years of experience and Cambridge certified teacher trainer. PTE is the most recommended test from me to my student for their immigration program. For this path i have put my life on the line and trying to make better environment for english and students. I highly request with all due respect to consider this as an opportunity for iranians and for the educators to expand their knowledge and to catch their dreams by allowing us to be allowed…

Yasaman Jamshidi

It is not fair at all to limit Iranian test takers just only because of political reasons. There are lots of hopes and efforts behind all of those people to make their future.

Dear Pearson PTE Team, I am an Iranian candidate currently residing in Iran and preparing for the PTE exam for my Australian work visa. I have spent significant time and money preparing for the exam, and this sudden restriction has seriously affected my plans. I respectfully ask Pearson to reconsider this decision or provide a reasonable transitional period or an alternative option for Iranian candidates. I would greatly appreciate your understanding and support. Kind regards, Mehdi

You are ruining lots of people’s lives with this decision! Why innocent Iranian people should pay the price for what the regime has done?!

Humanity!

I was preparing to take the exam for 2 years.

This restriction is profoundly unjust. Ordinary Iranians should not be punished for the actions of a corrupt and oppressive government—one that has already denied its own people their fundamental rights and freedoms. Many Iranians pursue international qualifications precisely because they value education, freedom and the opportunity to contribute respectfully to other societies. Denying them access to an English examination creates yet another barrier for people who are already suffering under

Hossein Ghasemi

I signed this petition because I deeply believe this condition is unfair for Iranian people.

Samaneh Ghareghanipour

Because i want to take a exam.

Satyam Roy

All the qualified and able candidates should have the option to take the test

Reza Amooei

I left Iran years ago in search of freedom and a better future. I cannot understand why people who left their country, work hard to build a new life, and have no connection to its government should be denied an English test simply because of their birthplace. We did not choose where we were born. We worked for every dollar, skill and opportunity we have. We came to the free world hoping to be judged as individuals, not by a government we left behind. This is deeply unfair.

Ehsan Riabzadeh

It is every Iranian candidate’s right to be able to take part in an educational test like the PTE. Moreover, political issues should not prevent students from taking such tests.

Fatemeh Shokri

Cause this is the cruelest thing ever.. it's nothing less than genocide

Reza Hooshiar

I've been studying English for about 10 months to take this exam next month. This is my human basic right. I have nothing to do with the government, so I kindly ask for your understanding.

Golsa Ghasemi

How does suppressing and depriving students and educated people in a society ultimately harm the country’s politicians? Those in power will remain completely insulated from the consequences and will not bear the slightest cost themselves.

Moji Pour Etemad

Because Iranian people need to pass this exam, why you did you do this?

Yousof Bagheri

Please do not judge Iranian people by their government
