In this sentence, '-는지' is a suffix that is accompanied with some interrogative words, indicating that the speaker is talking about some interrogative clause, making a guess, or wants to emphasize the clause. Honestly, I think the sentence given is somewhat unclear since I feel like it lacks some essential component, which I can't tell unfortunately. What I can tell is that the suffix '-는지' is usually followed by the word such as '모르다'(not to know), '알다'(to know), '알려주다'(to tell about). I would interpret like below:

My mother liked to watch other being amazed and jealous of her, after bragging about how she was able to get that kind of education.
