Many Syrians are currently unable to access their educational resources due to Udemy's outdated policy regarding country restrictions. Despite the legal lifting of major U.S. sanctions on Syria in 2025, Udemy still considers Syria a 'restricted country,' thereby blocking Syrian users from accessing their accounts and the wealth of educational content available on the platform.

Education is a fundamental right, and in an era where online learning has become an essential tool for personal and professional development, it is crucial that all barriers preventing access to knowledge be removed. For Syrian learners, being denied access to platforms like Udemy is not merely a matter of policy; it is a significant impediment to their educational and professional growth.

The outdated restrictions imposed by Udemy not only affect individuals striving to better themselves but also hinder Syria's broader economic and social recovery. Access to global educational resources empowers individuals to gain skills, improve their employment prospects, and contribute positively to their communities.

We urge Udemy to update its policy immediately to reflect current international standards and legal frameworks. By doing so, Udemy can take a significant step towards inclusivity and equality in global education. Removing Syria from the list of restricted countries will unlock invaluable opportunities for thousands of individuals keen to learn and improve their futures.

Join us in urging Udemy to rectify this injustice. Let us support Syrian learners in reclaiming their right to education and ensure everyone, regardless of their nationality, has access to high-quality learning resources.
