Was it a requirement, or was it just that the teacher recommended it because it's what he knew?
In my experience in a European school, the teachers generally recommend a specific model they're familiar with (usually casio, with some preferring TI) so they can answer questions easier. But I had no problems buying and using a different one (HP Prime) for the classes.

Why that specific model was chosen, I am not sure, but I guess that for exams they want to have something standardised in order to avoid people cheating (all calculators are reset at the start of exam) or being at an advantage/disadvantage due to different feature-sets on different models.
