This research paper explores the challenges and opportunities of implementing e-learning in developing countries. E-learning has the potential to revolutionize education by providing greater access to quality learning, enhancing teacher training, promoting lifelong learning, and facilitating international collaboration. However, its adoption in developing countries faces significant barriers, including inadequate infrastructure, financial constraints, limited digital literacy, and cultural resistance. Through a comprehensive analysis, this paper identifies these challenges and discusses the opportunities that e-learning presents. It also offers practical recommendations for addressing these barriers, emphasizing the need for collaboration between governments, educational institutions, private sector partners, and international organizations. By overcoming these challenges, e-learning can become a transformative tool for creating an inclusive, equitable, and adaptable education system in developing countries, contributing to sustainable development and educational empowerment.
