All Pacific developing member countries, including Samoa, experience great difficulty implementing long-term structural adjustment policies. While demand-side, short-term price stabilization policies may be more readily implemented, longer-term changes to land tenure and state-owned enterprises and efforts to liberalize trade and investment regimes confront a very difficult political economy environment in the Pacific islands. Governments are comfortable with short-term price reforms that pose less of a challenge to the political economy.

E-learning is as important for teachers as it is for their students. Information and communications technology (ICT) is not a translation of textbook materials into electronic textbooks, but requires pedagogical skill in identifying how the technology strengthens student understanding of core concepts and encourages self-directed learning. It is a transition from teacher-centered to student-centered pedagogy. It also requires more creative e-learning materials.
