I'm going to take this test, my immigration process is dependent on this test, I've been doing all my effort for two years, it's not fair to ban this test for us just for our nationality!

Denying Iranian students access to exams such as the PTE is a clear form of discrimination and a violation of basic ethics and humanity. People should not be made to pay the price for living under a dictatorial regime. Students and ordinary citizens are not their government.

PTE is extremely important for Iranian students, professionals, and immigration applicants. I am one of those applicants and was planning to take my exam next month. Cancelling access for Iranian candidates is not fair and puts a huge amount of stress and pressure on our lives and future plans. Please reconsider this decision, as removing this option could have serious and life-changing consequences for many of us.

I was supposed to sit the exam in 2 weeks with the hotel and plane tickets booked non-refundable, when this news hit me. You have not only caused me financial damage during these hard economic times in my country, but also caused me a great deal of stress after spending so much time on my studies and leaving my full-time job to do so.

This must be really embaressing for those authorities who claimed they want to help people, only to strip innocent people from everything that any human being should have access to regardless of their geography and race.

I signed this petition because I believe this change is completely unfair to Iranian people. I personally put a lot of effort into studying and practicing to be ready for the exam. Besides, I invested a lot of time and money in preparing for the PTE exam. My life and my fiancé’s life will be negatively affected by this change, and I believe it is totally unfair to me and thousands of other people in Iran.

I signed this petition because the people of Iran should not be punished for the actions or policies of their government. Governments and ordinary people are not the same, and political conflicts between states should never prevent individuals from accessing education, taking language exams, and pursuing a better future. Denying people access to knowledge and educational opportunities because of their nationality is unfair and, above all, inhumane.

I am an Iranian professional with a university degree and years of work experience. I have spent months preparing for PTE Academic to build a better future. In these terrifying and difficult circumstances, we need your support—not another door closed because of where we live.
Pearson, please stand with us, not against us. Do not silence, bury, or extinguish the potential of talented people like me. Give Iranian residents a fair chance to take the PTE exam and prove what we are capable of.

The consequences of this unprecedented decision, which restricts the fundamental rights to education and a free life, will be imposed solely on ordinary citizens and needs to be revised

For more than two years, people like me have been going through the immigration process, putting our lives on hold and investing all our time, energy, and hope into building a future outside Iran.
And now, this decision means that all of those years of effort and sacrifice have been for nothing.
We cannot afford to live in Iran anymore because of the devastating inflation, but at the same time, we are being prevented from leaving the country and building a life elsewhere.
This is not justice.

This law is extremely unfair. This is a violation of human rights. When a person wants to migrate with valid education and documents, you block their path. These same laws cause people to take illegal actions and that’s why goverments face numerus challenges with their migrants because of fake and invalid documents. So our request is to reconsider this rule. We all push ourselves to do our best to be successful in this exam. We have spent our entire lives and time to doing our best.
