It's such a shame that programming has been (and in many places still is) limited to higher education under the guise of "complex maths required" and similarly elitist attitudes.

If you can read, write and have a basic understanding of how a computer works, you can learn how to code. That, is the minimum bar.

In a world increasingly dependent on technology, educational institutions need to teach responsible and efficient use from the start. Not just for the young either, everyone should be able to learn how to code, as it is fundamentally no more complex than writing a list of things the computer should do for you.
