That comment hasn't really taken the debate very far, apologies.
Cycle training should not be compulsory from the standpoint of making sure every driver reaches a decent technical level when riding a bike. It's not necessary.
What is necessary is the understanding of what good and bad cycling looks like, how to drive properly (I would add 'around cyclists' but appropriate driving style and technique should be exactly the same regardless of traffic when one finds oneself in a built up area) and reinforcement that there is no hierarchy.
