Petition to Restore PTE Academic Access for Iranian Resident

Mehran Ghahramani

This is a government-to-government embargo, not a embargo that harms the people of that country. It is completely understandable that you would not want to hold the test inside Iran because of the Islamic Republic regime, but it is not fair to want to ban Iranians from taking the test so that they cannot even travel and take the test outside their country. The US organization, Educational Testing Service (ETS), has not been as strict with the sanctions rules as Pearson is.

Nazanin Iranpour

I am currently in the process of applying for migration and I already have a positive skills assessment and all the required points for my visa application. I have successfully completed all the other necessary steps, and the only remaining obstacle for me is achieving the required English language score in the PTE exam. The recent restrictions on PTE testing for Iranian candidates in Iran have created a serious barrier for me and many others who have spent significant time, effort, and money p

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.

Unfair political decisions are wasting years of people’s hard work, time, effort, and money that they have invested in pursuing their immigration dreams.

Meysam Bistooni

I am signing this petition because Iranian candidates are being unfairly suspended or restricted from taking the PTE exam. This has created serious barriers for students, professionals, and migrants who depend on PTE scores for education, employment, and immigration. We ask Pearson to provide a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory solution for Iranian test takers.

Parvaneh Moradi

Education and professional qualifications should remain independent of geographical borders.

Penny Khosravi

This policy preventing people residing in Iran from taking the PTE Academic test is unfair, discriminatory, and inhumane.

Mohaddeseh Mirzaei

Please allow Iranians to take the PTE exam outside of Iran. We are ordinary people who have done nothing wrong and should not be deprived of opportunities because of circumstances beyond our control. We facing so many difficulties inside Iran, while working hard and fighting for a better and brighter future. Please, we sincerely ask you to allow Iranian candidates to take the PTE exam outside of Iran. 🙏🏻 We just want the chance to build a better future
