Is education a neutral word?
The so-called neutral words are aimed at the emotional color of words, not only adjectives, but also verbs and nouns. They refer to words that can't reflect special emotional tendencies except commendatory words and derogatory words, that is, words with neutral emotional colors. Simply put, neutral words are words that neither praise nor belittle. Sun, moon and stars, insects, fish, birds and beasts, flowers and trees, pavilions and so on.

What is "education"? Broadly speaking, all activities that enhance people's knowledge and skills and affect people's ideology and morality are education. Education in a narrow sense mainly refers to school education, which means that educators exert purposeful, planned and organized influence on the body and mind of the educated according to the requirements of a certain society (or class) and cultivate them into people needed by a certain society (or class). In a narrow sense, it sometimes refers to ideological education activities.

It can be seen that the word education is a neutral word because it has no emotional color of praise or criticism.
