maybe Australia is the only place with enough fortitude to still
be teaching Ada to students; 

ok, ok, I know I exagerate; but when one listens to very bright 
University Professor Phds stand around and tell you that Ada is 
"not what the students need", "not what the students what", "not 
what industry wants", "provides no code base for students to work
on" & blah blah blah - well it is just discouraging;

so just to leave this on an upbeat note: Mike Feldman's URL of
Colleges & Universities teaching Ada as a foundation language;
