Organizers of the benchmark TOEFL English exam have banned Russian citizens from taking the test.
The Educational Testing Service (ETS) has blocked a number of Russian citizens from the online platform that runs the TOEFL exam.
Several Russian users have encountered messages saying that their access had been suspended in order to comply with Western sanctions.
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.
