Which name referred to the pre-Spanish school in Panay island?

• A. Bothoan
• B. Bugason
• C. Jaro
• D. Miagao

Answer: (A)

Pre-Spanish education on Panay was carried out in community learning spaces called bothoan, where elders guided children in basic reading, writing, arithmetic, and local cultural knowledge, all before formal Spanish-era schools existed. Bothoan describes this traditional form of schooling rooted in village life and oral transmission. The other names are places on Panay (towns like Jaro and Miagao), not the term for a pre-Spanish educational space, so Bothoan is the name that refers to the pre-Spanish school.
