Irina Khogali – Deputy Director (International Section)

After living and working for 14 years in Sudan, I returned to Romania with my husband and son and joined the Maarif family since the day they opened their first school here. While being abroad, I worked with 3 major schools from Khartoum and I became experienced with the National Curriculum of Great Britain, the American curriculum (State of California) and also the Primary Year Programme from the IB programme. I held various educational positions, both in teaching and in school management. I am also a parent at MISB, this making my journey here more interesting and I do believe that the sky is the limit for all of us!
