So Board said that Wikinews is out of scope. Its nature is informational, not educational.
I'm sorry, but I don't understand what distinction you're trying to make. In this context, those look like synonyms to me.
They aren't synonyms, although there is a lot of overlap. To inform means to provide information to. Educating involves understanding and skills too. I think Wikinews can both inform and educate, though.
