[**Minecraft Education Edition**][1] is focused on classroom use, so that students can learn while playing, with special blocks and commands, chat/conversation systems, classroom mode and more. It's more similar to the [Bedrock Edition][2] rather than [Java Edition][3]. Mods aren't available at [Minecraft Education Edition][1], as said [here][4].

On the other hand, Minecraft [Java][3]/[Bedrock][2] are games without direct educational purposes.

So, there **are** differences in both modes. As you can use it without any cost, I suggest you give it a try.
