Petition to Restore PTE Academic Access for Iranian Resident

Tara Armani

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.

My husband and I were trying to get ready for PTE exam

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

علی رسولی

beacouse i am student and i'm want to apply

Tala Farid

It is not fair. The people of Iran are not responsible for their government.

Iliya Kachi

Why? Because we stuck in this region?

Sahand A

Education is a right, not a weapon. I urge Pearson to reconsider suspending PTE services for Iranian candidates. Sanctions may target governments, but ordinary people should not be collateral damage. Iranian students and professionals are not the Iranian government. For many, PTE is a gateway to education and a better future. Denying it to an entire nationality is discriminatory and unethical. Please do not punish people for their passport.

Arshan Nadi

I'm moving to Australia and for the procedure I need to take English exams like PTE. Thanks for your understanding.

somi mirhelli

I dedicated several months of my life and all my earnings from those months to this exam

Sharmin Kaffashiasl
