I would point out when they say "learn to code" they pretty much exclusively talking about website development. They're not talking about real software development (I'm a software dev with a background in control systems development and a bit snooty about web development).
They also have no idea what they're talking about even with web development. The person responsible for the whole initiative has zero development experience and has said such gems as "you can make a website in an hour" and "you can learn to teach coding in a day". Which is news to most of us.
