Viqarunnisa Noon School and College (Bengali: ভিকারুননিসা নূন স্কুল এন্ড কলেজ), also
known as VNSC, is an all-girls higher secondary school and college in Dhaka,
Bangladesh. It has 25,000 students at four campuses in the city. It is named

History
The school began as Ramna Preparatory School in 1947.
Austrian Pakistani social worker Begum Viqar un Nisa Noon, wife of the
then-governor of East Pakistan, Firoz Khan Noon, was impressed when she visited
in 1950. With her support the school moved to its current Baily Road location,
where it was renamed in her honour.
It expanded very soon to a high school and, in 1956,
prepared students for the Senior Cambridge Examination.
In 1978, it started a college section with higher secondary
courses.
