Good Question, I'd suggest introducing UXD in art classes rather than computer classes since computer teachers then to focus more on coding than designing solutions.
Art classes (as I remember it the early 90's) had been more about expressing oneself or one's view about the environment around them and had very little to do with problem solving. Perhaps a new subject which combined art with problem solving/technology design could be used as a way to introduce UXD/IXD at the school level. Basic HFE principles could also be introduced in the art/technology design classes as well. Perhaps from year 7 onwards, students can be introduced to wire frames in their art class and then tasked with designing visuals within the parameters of the wire frame layout? From year 9 onwards students could start learning (if they haven't figured how to already) to build basic wire frames for solving layout issues? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
