Petition to Restore PTE Academic Access for Iranian Resident

Pial Hakim

I am not Iranian, but I have met many Iranians and have been deeply impressed by their talent, hard work, and potential. They deserve to be treated fairly and equally, just like everyone else. Wars, and political decisions are made by governments, not by ordinary citizens. Individuals should not be denied educational or professional opportunities because of political disagreements that are beyond their control. This is a totaly unfair.

Im an student who’s waiting for the right time to run from this pressure and this toxic country, but, you’re tacking the chance from me.

Pearson's decision to ban Iranian nationals from taking exams, despite all humanitarian principles, is an unjust and unfair measure. What happens in the political arena and the situation that has been created against us does not reflect the will or demands of the Iranian people. Please do not direct these pressures toward ordinary citizens.

Discrimination against civilians who are already suffering in different ways is not acceptable!

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 have devoted my life to migration. I spend more than 5 years on learning english and achieving PTE scores, Academic and Core. It is deeply unfair that I am prevented from taking Pearson examinations simply because I am Iranian.

Dear Pearson VUE Team, We are physicians, not politicians. Why should political circumstances beyond our control prevent us from taking a professional examination and pursuing our careers? We respectfully ask that you reconsider these restrictions and ensure that qualified medical professionals are not denied equal access to professional opportunities because of political circumstances.

Mahshad Abolhosseini

This must be really shameful for those authorities that that kept saying they want to help people and yet they are striping innocent people from what should be any body's right regardless of their geography or race srep by step

Behnoush Alizadeh

Education is a human right, not a political privilege. Iranian people should not be held responsible for the actions of their government. Access to education and language examinations should be based on individual merit, not nationality or political circumstances.

zahra Sadeghi

This decision is unfair to thousands of Iranian test takers who have invested significant time, money, and effort preparing for the PTE. Many have studied for months, paid for courses and exam preparation, and planned their education or professional registration around this test. They should not suddenly lose access to the exam because of their nationality.

Mahsa Maghrebi

As a resident of Australia who pays tax, I’m curious why I can’t take the PTE test.
