I think Dijkstra's viewpoint is a bit "elitist" here. He talks about what are the best things students should learn (formal methods etc.) instead of talking about what would be the best ways to teach those to them. He takes the viewpoint of the professor, unsurprisingly, not the viewpoint of the student.
