• DepEd’s R.A. No. 10533 known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013 calls for the implementation of the “spiral progression” education.

• As early as the primary grades, pupils are to learn concepts in life sciences, chemistry, earth science, and physics.

• In line with the thrust of DepEd, we revised and enhanced the “Breaking Through Science” series, aligning it with the K-12 curriculum.

Introducing the New BTS Series!

• The series adheres to inquiry-based education.

Unique Feature 1

Learners get involved in their learning by:
