Actress Yasmien Kurdi has decided to homeschool her firstborn, Ayesha, after the latter allegedly experienced bullying at her school in Makati.
On Instagram, Kurdi shared that the decision was made as Ayesha currently undergoes therapy. The latter has been homeschooled for two months now.
“Thank you, Ms. Tanya and *insert Ms. Grace, my former high school teacher and principal from Angelicum College, for supporting Ayesha and providing her with a safe space and environment. We have chosen homeschooling for now under the Seibo College Foundation while Ayesha is in continuous therapy with Ms. Lou. Thank you so much, ma’am!” she captioned her post alongside photos of her and Ayesha embarking on the homeschooling journey.

In December of last year, Kurdi made headlines after sharing on social media that her daughter was allegedly bullied at the Colegio San Agustin (CSA), citing instances when Ayesha was “ganged up” by her classmates, who also allegedly made an online hate group against her.
At the time, the “StarStruck” alumna also revealed that she has set up a meeting with the Secretary of the Department of Education, Sonny Angara, “to discuss potential solutions and strategies they can implement to address bullying in their schools.”
After Kurdi’s allegations, CSA penned a statement asking the actress to cooperate in resolving the issue, as they urged her to refrain from “blowing out” the matter to the public and revealing the identities of the other students as they are still minors.
