"Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

In one of the test the question is:

"Désolé, j'ai oublié mon argent. - Oh, ________." Sorry, I forgot my money. -Oh, it's not a problem.

The correct answer given was «Ça ne fait rien.»

Why couldn't i say "Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

Apprendre et enseigner

I have seen that the verb « apprendre » can mean both to learn and to teach in French. And I also know that « enseigner » can sometimes mean to teach (but in a narrower sense, and it can never mean to learn). My question is : Can one say in this exercise « je lui ENSEIGNERAI à être indépendante et forte » or is this just a wrong usage of this verb?
