By the time I was taught any programming in any kind of formal education setting (I was a teenager), I was already way ahead of the teacher in my programming skills and was actually correcting his mistakes. I'm not sure if things have gotten better in this respect (this was the early 90s), but judging by the knowledge I see from new, young developers who have learned in a 'school' setting - there still seems to be a problem - either with the teaching material (it's no good, or plain wrong in places), or the teachers themselves (cannot program, or only at a very basic level with no real understanding of the subject).
I think the above is probably one of the main things that needs addressing, but there are also a million problems with the tools and resources available today for learning to program outside of a formal setting, but there's a whole book's worth of material to say about that.
