Over 30,000 students have graduated from TCA since its establishment. Teso College ranks in the top 50 in the Ugandan national examinations performance listing. Students at Teso College have access to a full array of co-curricular activities, including clubs and sports. Teso College's mission is to educate the future leaders of Uganda. == History == Teso College was started in 1953 through the initiative of the local people from the Aloet area, with the support of Leo Okol, the Chairman of the Teso District Council at the time. The school didn't have a name at first, and consisted of only two junior classes. By 1954, under the leadership of the Teso District Local Administration, Teso College had grown into the one of the largest and best equipped schools in Teso and Uganda. On 9 July 1954, the foundation stone for the new school was laid by then colonial Governor of Uganda, Sir Andrew Cohen, marking the official founding of the school and giving it the name Teso College Aloet. The preparations for enrolment and the formal start of teaching at Teso College were begun by A.S Baxendale, who was to later become Principal Education Officer, Eastern Province. In February 1955, John Sassoon, first acting Headmaster of the school, completed these preparations. Classes officially started on 1 March 1955, with James Opolot as the Assistant Master. On 2 March 1955, the Principal Judge of Teso District, E.P. Engulu, and the Secretary General of Teso, J.E.I. Ogaino, attended the first assembly held in Teso College, where Engulu presented the school with the gift of a drum. Towards the end of 1955, the first headmaster of the college Aloet, Jonny E. Jones, arrived from Sudan. From its foundation until 2012, 14 headmasters have led the college. Teso College has taught the Christian religion from the beginning, and provides religious facilities to the students. Prior to the construction of the Anglican and Catholic chapels, the room next to the library was furnished as a chapel, and the Anglican Church of Uganda held Bible fellowships there. The art room was designated as the Catholic chapel, with services by a chaplain. The school suffered some severe setbacks from 1986–2002, with the revolutions and unsettled political climate of Teso. The situation has steadily improved from 2005 onwards, with Teso College's performance in the Ugandan National Examinations getting better and better. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teso College Aloet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
