The my explanation why は can't be used in this sentence, correct?
Why は can't be used, and が has to be used.
EX: A: だれ が がく？
B's response would be "who is who a student?" and the ”だれ”would become the new topic of conversation.

To give you my understanding, using 「が」 as a subject of a verb makes it exclusive and highlights the subject. Since the question "Who" automatically is excluding other subjects, 「が」 is appropriate here.
The usage of 「は」 and 「が」 is very complicated and there are many exceptions to the rule.

After question pronouns you use が
だれ、なに etc.
