While existing learning frameworks and diagnostic assessment tools provide valuable guidance for assessing foundational learning, these were primarily developed for stable learning environments. Their application in emergency settings requires adaptation to account for interrupted schooling, psychosocial stress, multi-grade teaching arrangements, learning loss, student displacement, and challenges related to inclusive education. Particular attention is required to ensure assessment approaches are appropriate for children with disabilities, children from diverse linguistic backgrounds, and those experiencing prolonged learning disruption. Strengthening emergency responsive learning frameworks and diagnostic tools will support evidence-based planning, targeted learning support, and improved learning recovery efforts at national and subnational levels.
