Using Qt for simple graphics (circle, line kind of stuff) may be an overkill. There used to be a simple library called `vgalib' available on GNU/Linux ... don't know whether it is still supported. If not, something like SDL can be used. Of course, if students are going to do full-fledged GUI stuff, then they surely will have to opt for something like GTK/Qt. That said, C++ is a horrible choice for an introductory programming language - I have seen the textbook used by CBSE - absolutely dry and designed to make people *hate* programming for the rest of their life!
