As a former CS teacher the real barrier is finding qualified teachers. Most schools, even international schools which pay significantly better, seem to have math or science teachers with little or no coding experience filling the role.

I sent 30 applications to London schools offering to teach programming and didn't get a single reply. I have experience teaching in adult education and over 20 years as a professional programmer.
I wonder if it all gets lost in HR who looks at their hiring listing and sees there is no opening and disregards it.
