'education-centered' originates from the combination of 'education' and 'centered', where 'education' comes from Latin 'educatio', meaning 'a breeding, a bringing up', and 'centered' from 'center', meaning 'middle point'.

'education-centered' evolved from the concept of focusing on educational aspects, combining the words 'education' and 'centered' to form a modern adjective.

Initially, it meant 'focused on education', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
