Assessments are needed to promote learning and equip teachers with appropriate skills to address classroom diversity, and not exclusively as a tool to measure what is taught. Similarly, it is vital to ensure participation for children with disabilities in high-stakes regional and international assessments, which guide education policies and can direct national budgetary allocations in education. 2019-06-25T16:21:31Z 2019-06-25T16:21:31Z 2019-06 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/756811560851384787/Every-Learner-Matters-Unpacking-the-Learning-Crisis-for-Children-With-Disabilities http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31946 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper Canada Pakistan South Africa United Kingdom
