It was a good choice.

Lots of students was taught Pascal back then.

Pascal is way more modern than Cobol, Fortran and Basic.

Pascal is high level and well structured, which make
it much more suitable for business applications than C.

And back then there were not a "C mono culture" for
low level code.
