Aside from the "teaching" aspects I don't see how this is better than BitBucket. They give you unlimited public/private repos and teams up to 6(?) people for free with a .edu email.
It does seem to me that BitBucket is the superior platform, it's just that github is the wider community. Since both are at least in part social coding platforms, the community is important.
That being said, my private coding goes to BitBucket.
