I think you're spot on here. You don't see people flocking to the English department because they had heard the ability to read and write is essential to landing a high paying job.

The same will be true for programming in the future; programming will be to the CS curriculum as reading and writing is to the English curriculum. No one is teaching English majors how to read and write English at my university. But we have 4 semesters devoted to reading and writing programs, because we can't assume any student knows these things like the English department can.

Isn't that a problem on which path gets taken to reach university actually?

Many countries have specific exams in place for each university degree, and it is expected that the basis are already in place from the highschool.
