St. John Joins the FT Schools Programme: Free Access for All Students and Staff

At St. John’s Baptist School, we are committed to providing our students and staff with world-class resources that extend learning beyond the classroom. We are thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Financial Times (FT) Schools Programme, granting our entire community free, unlimited access to FT.com.

Why the Financial Times?

In an increasingly complex global economy, staying informed is no longer optional—it is a necessity. The FT provides award-winning journalism, deep data analysis, and diverse perspectives on everything from global politics and climate change to technology and business.

By integrating the FT into our academic environment, we aim to:

• Enhance Critical Thinking: Help students analyze complex global issues.
• Support Exam Preparation: Provide real-world case studies for Economics, Social Studies, and Business courses.
• Foster Global Citizenship: Connect our learners in Addis Ababa with the pulse of international affairs.

What’s Included in Your Free Subscription?

Every eligible member of the St. John’s community (students aged 16+ and all staff) will receive a Standard FT.com Digital Subscription, which includes:

• Unlimited Articles: Access to all news, analysis, and opinion pieces.
• The FT App: Read on the go with your mobile device.
• myFT Personalization: Create a custom feed to follow specific industries or topics of interest.
• Multimedia Content: Premium podcasts, video explainers, and interactive data trackers (like the Global Inflation Tracker).
• Weekly News Quizzes: A fun way for students to test their knowledge of current events.
