Morphology
The meaning 'an organization devoted to education' is directly and compositionally derived from 'educational' (connected to education) modifying 'institution' (a formal organization). This adjective + noun pattern is a regular, cross-linguistic compositional structure, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Educational institution comes from a simple picture: education means teaching or 'learning' and institution is something set up, like a place or organization. Imagine a building made for learning where teachers and students gather — that 'institution' exists to give 'education'. That's why it means 'a school, college, or university'.
