Question Ubuntu or Edubuntu

Good morning, gang. I am an educator and an experienced Linux user. I've been using Ubuntu for about a year. I've seen Edubuntu listed in the Synaptic Package Manager. Are there any real advantages to installing Edubuntu directly as opposed to installing it on a system already running Ubuntu? Thanks.

If you do a clean install you don't get stuff that Ubuntu has but Edubuntu doesn't. Don't know of any specific packages mind.
