The Muslim Educational Society is an educational organisation established in 1964.

MES operates 150 educational facilities across Kerala, which include 28 colleges, 12 secondary schools and 36 CBSE schools and has over 100,000 students.[1] In 2019, the society banned face veils from its facilities, a decision that caused controversy.[2][3][4][5]
