Petition to Restore PTE Academic Access for Iranian Resident

Mahni Koosh

As an Iranian engineering professional, I need access to the PTE exam for international licensing and career opportunities. Language testing should be based on qualifications, not nationality. Please remove these restrictions and give Iranian professionals a fair opportunity.

Sadaf Khodajouie

This exam is very important to me because I have spent months preparing for it, and my future study and migration plans depend on my test result. Cancelling it at short notice could seriously affect my plans and waste the time and money I have invested.

Saleh Ghane

Dear Pearson, I am writing this as an Iranian candidate who is planning to migrate and whose future depends, in part, on obtaining a PTE score. I was deeply disappointed to hear about the cancellation of PTE exams for Iranian candidates. I understand that there may be political and operational reasons behind this decision, but I sincerely ask you to consider the situation from our perspective as well. We, ordinary Iranian people, are not responsible for the actions or decisions of our governm

It is obviously against human rights! How come you ban a nationality from taking a test!

Zahra Amini

Because the future of thousands of young Iranians who want to study abroad or immigrate depends on their English language exam results.

We need this for our migration to Australia.

Daniel Saffari

It's not fair, I want to immigrate to another country and we have many problems but with this new situation you're making it harder.

Isn't it enough that the exam isn't even offered in Iran? Now you've banned Iranian residents from taking it too? All of us traveled to another country to take it. Ridiculous.

Hamid Talebian

I studied pte for one year and in one night you ruined my life.

Hadi Teimouri

I have spent months preparing for the PTE Academic exam and planning my future around studying and working internationally. This sudden restriction is heartbreaking for students and professionals who have invested time, effort, and money in preparing for the test. We only ask for the opportunity to prove our English ability. Please reconsider this decision and restore PTE Academic access for Iranian residents.

It’s not fare.

Shirin Bodouhi

Please hear the voice of Iranian test takers. For many of us, PTE is not just an exam—it is a pathway to education, career opportunities, and a better future. Being unable to take the test because of our nationality puts years of hard work and countless dreams at risk. We respectfully ask Pearson to reconsider this decision and ensure equal and fair access to PTE for Iranian candidates. Please don’t let nationality stand between students and their dreams. 🤍

This matters to me because PTE is essential to my education and immigration plans, and Iranian candidates deserve equal access to the exam.

Amir Abedini Koshksaray

I signed this petition because I believe it is deeply unfair that Iranian people, cultured, educated, and highly capable individuals, are being prevented from taking Pearson examinations that are essential for their education, professional careers, migration, and broader academic and professional development.

Atabak Tammuzkhah

It's completely unfair and a total discrimination against Iranian youths who put their hope for being useful in a different country than their own home. US and AU gov people have told multiple times that they support the people of Iran, and this is how you support Iranian people??? Are you liars?! I don't think so, fix this embarrassing discrimination. UNFAIR, UNFAIR, UNFAIR.

Leila So

This is unfair. We have invested significant time and money preparing for the PTE exam. Political conflicts with the Islamic Republic should not punish ordinary Iranian people who have no connection to the government and even oppose its policies. We should not have to pay the price for decisions we did not make.
