Morphology

educational + program

The meaning 'an organized course or series of courses designed to provide education' is directly and compositionally derived from 'educational' (connected to education) + 'program' (a course or curriculum). The adjective+noun pattern is a standard, literal combination found across many languages and involves no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Educational program joins the word educational, meaning about learning, with program, meaning a planned list of events or 'classes'. So, it means a planned set of 'courses' or activities made to teach a subject.
