Education account is a joke

[LiquidPoops]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to verify as a student so I can use my benefits, however the portal for submitting photos only works on a mobile device, only with the front camera. Are you guys joking? This is absolutely pathetic, I get that GitHub doesn’t want to provide students with free resources, but this has been an issue for a long time and you haven’t done anything to address the many complaints. Shame on you GitHub, this is some bullshit.

Hi there,

I understand your frustration, and it seems like you're dealing with a technical issue that is preventing you from completing the verification process. It's definitely not ideal to be limited to using only a mobile device and the front camera for submitting photos, especially when trying to access benefits.

It's important to provide feedback, and you're not alone in facing challenges like this — other users have voiced similar concerns. While I can't directly resolve the issue, I would recommend reaching out to GitHub Education support at [email protected] to report this limitation. They may be able to guide you through an alternative solution or expedite fixing the process.

In the meantime, I hope GitHub addresses this in future updates to make the process smoother for everyone. Thanks for sharing your experience, and I hope this issue gets resolved soon.

thankyou.
