What is the difference between "education program" and "educational program"?
For example, if the government of a country has a plan to give children from poor families a classical music education for free,
do you call it "education program" or "educational program"?
Best Answer
Something is "educational" if it teaches--it could be on any topic. An "education program" would be something specifically regarding education.
Your example is an education program since it is about the logistics of funding education. Sure, it is also arguably educational, but that word would better apply to the materials produced or delivered by the program.
