			According to an joint publication by [[ICDE]] and others:
			:the integration of computer and communications technology into education is still in its initial stages and implemented through a variety of projects such as Samoa School Net and the UNDP proposed funded [http://www.undp.org.ws/FocusAreas/DemocraticGovernance/ICTforDevelopmentinSamoa/tabid/6346/language/en-US/Default.aspx e-bus]. There are currently two broad initiatives in the area of ICT: the provision of ICT support and services and the provision of ICT training and education directed towards schools. The issue of online delivery is still relatively undeveloped and distance education is primarily delivered in a more traditional manner, with the USP providing distance and online options. The regulatory framework in Samoa is most appropriate for that mode. However, it is likely in the future that the interest in the online environment will increase rapidly and it is unclear as to whether Samoa is ready for that change.
