Queen Elizabeth College (QEC) is a, previously, all-girls, prestigious academic institution in Mauritius with high admission standards.

[1] As from 2021, it has now become a mixed school and accommodates girls and boys of age 15 to 18 years based on their academic performance at the National Certificate of Education (NCE) examinations.

In 1950, the Government purchased a private house with nine acres of ground and turned it into a school at Vandermersch Street in Rose Hill.

The building accommodated classrooms for science (physics, chemistry, and biology), and new subjects including art, cookery, needlework, and music.

Dress codes were strictly imposed: only walking shoes were allowed, dangling earrings were banned, and uniforms had to reach the level of the knee.

Ms Kistoe took over for a longer time period before moving to the newly established Mauritius Institute of Education (MIE).
