educational
Designed for learning
Educational describes things designed to teach or inform: an educational program, educational materials, an educational experience.
The word emphasizes learning value over entertainment, though edutainment tries to combine both.
Something educational imparts knowledge or develops skills: The museum offers educational tours for schoolchildren.
