I don't understand why many European universities teach technology from 70's (original i8051). HC912 is much modern, but compared to modern SoCs still quite "outdated". I also do not understand why they usually push students to wire all circuits and not provide ready-made modules. Each added wire between chips adds certain level of error into circuit. Not mentioning it could contain some friendly user interface such as MicroVGA instead of flashing LEDs.

Yes, that is a recent change. It will hopefully change back sometime soon.
