A Cabinet directive stated Saipipi Primary School and Amoa College would be $6,000 tālā each to repair the rooms and facilities, the Samoa Observer reported.
A further $4,000 tālā was allocated for the repair of electricity wires that were damaged in the Laumoli Primary School's hall, with the rest of the 17 schools each receiving $2,000 tālā to clean up their compounds and repair damage.
The assistance would be funded from money allocated for emergencies by the Ministry of Finance Budget for the 2022/2023 financial year.
