The Tororo Girls’ School (TGS) contract was signed in 1963 with the School of Education at UMass. CIE inherited and continued implementing the project after CIE was formed in 1968. UMass was charged with planning, construction, equipping, staffing and administration of the TGS. The project was jointly supported by USAID and the Government of Uganda. The school opened in 1965. UMass was responsible for developing the curriculum, training the staff, and administering the project. The School is a comprehensive secondary school combining academic subjects with vocational subjects. It has a capacity of 600 girls who can choose between streams in Home Economics, Commercial Skills and academic subjects, thus allowing them to go directly into jobs which require their skills.
