I believe the new Pencil requires the hardware upgrade on the pad to make it work. It seems like with this refresh they were more concerned with keeping the cost in a range that makes sense for these models. And reducing the price for the iPad Air may prove to be crucial to help boost sales which have been in a slight decline for the iPad line as a whole.

Not just in the screen, but it would need the inductive charging magnet system, which seems likely to be pretty expensive. The new iPads do work with the Logitech Crayon, however, which is good for education. The Apple Pencil is designed to be used one-per-device but the Crayon is more easily shared.
