A student of Funsi Senior High School (SHS) has raised concerns over the prolonged lack of electricity in the school’s boys’ dormitory, describing the situation as dangerous and frustrating for students.
The student made the complaint while addressing the school’s headmaster in the early hours of Monday, November 9, 2026, questioning why students had been made to live in a dormitory without electricity for such an extended period.
According to the student, he is currently in his third year at the school, but the boys’ dormitory has reportedly remained without electricity throughout his stay.
“This is my third year in this school, and there has been no light in the boys’ dormitory since I came here. Sir, will you be happy if your children sleep in a room without light?” the student asked.
He further expressed disappointment over what he considered inadequate living conditions, arguing that even poultry farms now have electricity while students in the dormitory continue to sleep in darkness.
One of the most concerning aspects of the student’s complaint was his account of an incident in which a student reportedly found a snake inside his chop box.
The student suggested that the lack of electricity made it difficult for boarders to see clearly inside the dormitory, potentially exposing them to danger.

“Someone once opened his chop box and found a snake inside because there was no light in the dormitory,” he said.
The account has raised questions about the safety and welfare of students living in the affected dormitory, particularly at night when visibility is limited.
The student’s appeal highlights the importance of providing safe and decent accommodation for boarding students. Electricity in dormitories is not simply a convenience; it also supports students’ ability to move around safely, keep their belongings, and maintain basic living conditions.
The concerns expressed by the student are likely to draw attention to the need for the school authorities and relevant education officials to investigate the situation and address the reported lack of electricity.
As of the time of writing, no response from the school’s management or the Ghana Education Service has been included in the account provided.
The situation at Funsi SHS raises a broader question about the living conditions of boarding students and the responsibility of school authorities to ensure that dormitories are safe and suitable for students.
