Built on a foundation of academic excellence, discipline, and moral values, the school continues to nurture responsible and successful students under its guiding motto, “Strive to Excel.”
In the establishment of Masaka Town College, I was stimulated by the enormous desire to make a remarkable contribution to the transformation of our community of the then Masaka municipality and its environs through unprecedented quality secondary education. Prior to the establishment, I had personally engineered and conducted extensive research which revealed the dire insatiable need for a model and unique secondary school that could absorb the surging numbers of secondary school entrants within the localities of Butego, Bugabira, Nyendo, Kimaanya, Katwe and their neighbouring suburbs. There was also a surprisingly high failure rate in many old government owned and aided secondary schools within the then municipality that high enrolment which had to be remedied by the emergence of a model secondary school, hence the conception of MATCO.
Steadily aroused, driven and propelled by above factors, I mobilized relatively substantial savings, acquired land at Kirumba “A” Cell, Butego Ward, Nyendo-Mukugwe Division, Masaka City, embarked on the construction of magnificent infrastructure on a well planned serene and conducive education campus, hence the birth of Matco.
I personally and my pioneer staff engaged in extensive marketing and mobilization of learners from and within the entire Masaka municipality and beyond. We officially registered the school as a college because we intended to offer a unique hybrid of conventional approved secondary curriculum as well as the practical vocational skilling to produce an all round holistic learner. The Ministry of Education & Sports was convinced and granted us a college status albeit not plainly.
Noteworthy still, the core and fundamental goal to me was to establish and develop within Masaka city, a unique model, reputable college that offers exceptionally diverse but quality standard secondary education to its learners who would get equipped with modern skills germane to the competitive job market. Indeed we set off and officially opened business on 10/02/2003 with 65 learners.
Buttressed by immense skills from my professional training as a lawyer and in collaboration with seasoned educationists, we formulated befitting, appropriate and unique school policies on all the phenomena that engulfed the school. These became the nerves and arteries that circulated the blood in the then growing Masaka Town College up to date. Hence forth, we are todate bigger in enrolment with a track record spanning over 20 years of excellent products that have attained their career ambitions in a myriad of disciplines including notably, but not limited to human medicine and surgery, veterinary medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, engineering, architecture, surveying, agriculture, law, accountancy, finance, administration, education and journalism. The proverbial mustard seed that germinated on 10/02/2003 sprouted and has incessantly continued to bear fruits every year.
At Masaka Town College, we are not merely imparting knowledge, but we nurturing and building an all round holistic product skilled adequately to compete favourably for the ever changing job market.
