The Duolingo English Test will no longer be accessible to individuals in Iran beginning September 1st. This change will impact many Iranian students and professionals who rely on the test for academic admissions and career opportunities.
The exact reasons for the discontinuation of service in Iran have not been explicitly stated by Duolingo. However, such decisions by international companies often stem from geopolitical factors, sanctions, or regulatory changes within the affected country. This development could necessitate alternative testing solutions for Iranians seeking to demonstrate their English proficiency.
