If you want to help people develop a fundamental understanding of IT concepts, teach them Python. C is very hard for beginners and will discourage most people. JavaScript is too inconsistent. Python will let people get results quickly and that way encourage them to carry on. Plus, it’s one of the most popular languages out there so Python skills are definitely useful in the labour market.

Yes, python is very easy language for begginers and they might need it to create backend however most students don’t even know the difference between frontend and backend. They just want to create few simple website. And even if I teach them python first to write APIs, I eventually have to teach them about html, css and js

You can use Flask. With that you’ll have your first website up and running in minutes. Then you can move on to templating in HTML and CSS.

You want them to create websites and consider C, but python is too much “back end”? My mate, you already decided what you want, no need for discussion (:
