Foundations for a Bright Future
Mrs. Katrina Mankani
Director of Positive Education & Innovation, Managing Director Jumeirah International
Nurseries
Katrina Mankani is the Managing Director of Jumeirah International Nurseries (JINS) and is responsible for strategic, marketing, and human resources development at JINS.
Mrs. Katrina Mankani’s heart remains with young children, which led her to develop a career in early childhood education and childcare. Mrs. Katrina Mankani found her calling in the classroom, spending several years teaching in JINS before moving to Regent International School – a leading British National Curriculum school – where she spearheaded the embedding of the Education in Human Values programme across the school with a team of teachers. With her first love always being early childhood education, Mrs. Katrina Mankani then returned to JINS to pursue her first love.
I often ask parents when was the last time they used their mathematical skills they learnt in school and it is always a real-life problem that they have to solve so why would we expect it to be different for our children at Regent.
Mrs. Katrina Mankani is a committed educationist with over a decade of teaching experience. She brings passion, innovation and an indefatigable spirit to developing JINS, as well as an intellectually deep fascination of how the minds of young children develop.
Mrs. Katrina Mankani graduated from Russia’s leading university, Moscow State University, with a Master’s in Public Administration, and also holds a PGCE and CACHE Level 3 certifications from the UK. She also has a Masters of Education in Leadership from Columbia University.
Since 2016 Mrs. Katrina Mankani has also led the Positive Education initiative across all Fortes Institutions to ensure that students of all ages develop their emotional intelligence.
