What was the name of the school for pre-Spanish children on Panay island?

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

Answer: (D)

In Panay, early education for children before Spanish influence was rooted in the community and carried out in a space where elders guided the young. The term bothoan refers to this learning place in the village, where children picked up the basics of daily life, social expectations, and cultural knowledge through storytelling, songs, and practical activities. It shows how education was woven into everyday life rather than delivered in a formal school building. The other options are names of places on Panay, not the educational space itself, so bothoan is the best fit for the pre-Spanish school for children.
