No, the "Education Program admin" refers to a volunteer administrator of the program, such as a regional or national ambassador. The title varies depending on what part of the world they operate in, so simply calling them "Education Program regional ambassador" doesn't quite line up on some individuals. I'm personally not fond of the "admin" nomenclature myself, as it does (as you point out) confuse the individual with sysops. We're open to other ideas for naming the user access level if you have any.
The users that are assigned this user access level will inherit privileges from the ep-instructor, ep-campus-ambassador, and ep-online-ambassador, and will be able to administer those user access levels. Other than that, it's a typical autoconfirmed user.
Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the post, Rob. Will an Education Program admin have the same access levels as a sysop on the English Wikipedia?

Hey,
The users that are assigned this user access level will inherit
privileges from the ep-instructor, ep-campus-ambassador, and ep-online-ambassador, and will be able to administer those user access levels. Other than that, it's a typical autoconfirmed user.
For a more complete overview of the rights, see http://education.wmflabs.org/index.php/Special:ListGroupRights
Note that the skip captcha one currently assigned to all of the education groups is just present on the demo wiki and won't be copied over to any Wikipedia.
Cheers
