PTE is an important English proficiency test for many Iranian students, professionals, and immigrants. We ask Pearson to restore access to PTE exams for Iranian candidates and give them an equal opportunity to pursue education, work, and immigration opportunities.
This exam is our only hope of leaving Iran.

As an Iranian resident in Denmark and a former PTE candidate, I may still be able to access the PTE exam myself. However, I am signing this petition in support of candidates whose primary residence is in Iran.
Students and professionals should not lose access to an internationally recognised English-language assessment solely because of where they reside. I respectfully ask Pearson and the relevant U.S. authorities to explore a legally permissible solution that allows Iranian residents to take

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.

I would like to formally complain about Pearson’s discriminatory restriction preventing Iranian citizens residing in Iran from taking the PTE Academic test using their Iranian passports. I believe this policy is unfair and discriminatory and request clarification regarding the reasons for this restriction.

This is deeply unfair to Iranian test takers. Many of us have spent months, sometimes years, preparing for the PTE, investing significant amounts of money in courses, study materials, and exam fees, only to be told that we can no longer take the test because of our nationality.
We have studied, prepared, paid, and worked hard just like everyone else. Our nationality should not determine whether we are allowed to demonstrate our English proficiency.

I am signing this petition because of all the injustices imposed on the people of Iran, while the real responsibility lies solely with an incompetent government. Unfortunately, the burden of sanctions and all their consequences falls heavily on Iran’s talented and hardworking young people, who deserve opportunities to build a better future.

Restricting PTE access for Iranian candidates is deeply unfair. Thousands of people have spent months preparing, investing their time and money, and building their future around this exam. Nationality should never be a barrier to education and professional opportunities.
We respectfully ask Pearson to reconsider this decision and find a fair solution for Iranian test takers. We are not asking for special treatment — we are simply asking for an equal opportunity to pursue our goals.

This is one of the cruelest things you can do to Iranians, because many of them need to emigrate to escape the Islamic Republic’s prison.
