TV1 Samoa reported the matter was raised in Parliament by government backbencher, Leā'anā Ronnie Posini.
He said it was heartening to know the government was looking at allowing students to attend the National University of Samoa for free.
He also said the government was looking at paying the salaries of all private school teachers.
Prime Minister Tuila'epa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi confirmed the MP's statements, saying it was something the government had been mulling on for a while.
