The path to obtaining a language certificate for Iranian applicants wishing to study abroad is becoming increasingly restricted. Following the suspension of the IELTS exam in Iran and the imposition of severe restrictions on the Duolingo exam, the ETS organization has now announced that it has also suspended the administration of two important language exams under its purview.

Language Exams at Risk of Closure

Language exams, as one of the most important requirements for studying abroad, are alarmingly decreasing. This situation, which seems to result from new decisions and restrictive policies, has raised many concerns among parents and students. Many applicants wishing to study in foreign countries are now faced with unanswered questions and an uncertain future.

The ETS organization, responsible for administering the TOEFL and other language exams, has announced that the conditions for Iranians have drastically changed, and these changes could have serious consequences for the educational future of the country's youth. These decisions clearly indicate the creation of new barriers to access higher education abroad.

Impact on Educational Future

With the limitation of language exam options, applicants wishing to study abroad will face serious challenges. Many students who were preparing for exams in hopes of continuing their education at the world's best universities are now confronted with new dead ends. This situation will not only affect their educational future but could also cast a shadow over their job opportunities and prospects.

Therefore, given the current conditions, serious planning and effective measures are necessary to address these issues. Can the relevant authorities find a solution to this crisis?
