GES engages Funsi SHS authorities over lack of water, electricity in boys’ dormitory

The Ghana Education Service (GES) says it is working with the authorities of Funsi Senior High School (SHS) and relevant government agencies to address concerns over the lack of electricity and water supply in the school’s boys’ dormitory. The GES also urged students to channel their grievances through the appropriate school management structures to ensure they receive the necessary attention.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) says it is working with the authorities of Funsi Senior High School (SHS) and relevant government agencies to address concerns over the lack of electricity and water supply in the school's boys’ dormitory.

This follows the circulation of a video in which a student of the school raises concerns about the challenges, drawing attention to the living conditions of students.

In a statement, Wednesday, November 11, the GES said it had taken note of the video and assured students, parents, guardians and the general public that it would work with the school authorities and other stakeholders to assess the situation and facilitate a prompt resolution.

The Service, however, disclosed that it had disbursed the school's recurrent expenditure allocations long before the video emerged.

It said the school leadership was therefore encouraged to take the necessary measures to address the concerns raised by the students.

The GES also urged students to channel their grievances through the appropriate school management structures to ensure they receive the necessary attention.

Management reaffirmed its commitment to working with relevant stakeholders to resolve the identified challenges.
