One could argue about language, but Delphi as RAD-IDE is definitely not a good choice. Students tend to overfocus on embellishing forms etc, and not spending their time on the more problem-solving oriented assignment.
What's a form worth without a task and event handlers?
Probably because dolling up the UI is easier and gives instant-gratification.
Modern (portable) devices are GUI based, so that mastering a GUI is important. Not everybody likes to control the progress and results of some task by writing WriteLn statements, so that a GUI *in addition* to console applications is a good base for all students.
