Education and educational

Please tell me what is the difference between education and educational apart from their different parts of speech. What really confuses is that we use "educational institution" but "education system". Why? Please teach me how to use them properly. And do we have any other words like these?

Many nouns can be used as adjectives. Often the choice is arbitrary, but sometimes it makes a difference: Education course: the topic of the course is education. Educational course: The course teaches a lot.
