E-learning platforms are revolutionising education by enhancing the efficacy of instruction; however, they can only achieve their full potential if significant challenges are addressed and effective improvement strategies such as professional development, infrastructure enhancement, and technical support are implemented. This study aimed to investigate the readiness of teachers in Fijian schools to adopt e-learning platforms. It also sought to identify the necessity for e-learning platforms in schools, the factors that impede their implementation, and specific strategies for improving teaching and learning through these platforms. Data were collected from 100 participants, including 20 school principals, 40 teachers, and 40 students, through questionnaires and interviews. The qualitative data were analysed in accordance with the research questions, whereas the quantitative data were analysed utilising descriptive statistics. The study found that e-learning platforms enhance education by fostering 21st-century skills and improving teaching methodologies. However, challenges such as inadequate resources, insufficient teacher training, and unreliable Internet and electricity hinder its full implementation. The study suggests that targeted solutions, including professional development for educators, investment in reliable infrastructure, and continuous support, be provided to enable schools to maximise e-learning's benefits and create a more innovative educational environment.
