Makes sense if they're students working on small projects. Ada is explicitly designed to make large programs readable, and willingly trades off on writeability when the two come into conflict. It isn't going to shine if you're writing small 'single shot' applications, that isn't what Ada is for.
(Ada also commits to using many English language words where languages like C use symbols. SQL does this too. I'm not sold on the idea that this improves readability. Of course, there's far more to Ada than the skin-deep matter of its wordy syntax.)
This is similar to the readability/writeability tradeoff of moving from JavaScript (more writeable) to TypeScript (more readable and more refactorable). See the current discussion thread at [0].
Interesting reading (for some of us at least): the original Ada design rationale document, from 1986 [1].
