“Russians
Banned From TOEFL English Language Exam – Report”
Organizers of
the benchmark TOEFL English exam have banned Russian citizens from taking the
test, independent media outlet Mediazona reported Tuesday. The Educational Testing Service (ETS) has
blocked a number of Russian citizens from the online platform that runs the
TOEFL exam, according to Mediazona. The TOEFL qualification is recognized by
11,000 universities in over 190 countries and plays a key role in job hiring
processes and higher education. Several
Russian users have encountered messages saying that their access had been
suspended in order to comply with Western sanctions, Mediazona reported. Following Russia’s invasion of neighboring
Ukraine in February, the U.S.-founded ETS and fellow English language test
IELTS stopped offering exams in Russia. Mediazona
did not report an official response from ETS and The Moscow Times was not able
to immediately reach the company for comment.
^ This is
great news! Until Russia rejoins the Human Race and stops their Genocide in
Ukraine they should not be allowed to do things like this. ^
