educational institution
An institution that serves the education, training, or continuing education of people, such as a school, university, or academy.
Universitäten und Schulen sind staatliche Bildungseinrichtungen.
Universities and schools are state educational institutions.
This word is a typical German compound. It consists of 'die Bildung' (education), the linking -s, and 'die Einrichtung' (institution/facility). So the meaning is literally an 'institution for education.'

After finishing school, he is looking for a suitable educational institution for his training.
'Bildungseinrichtung' (educational institution) is a very formal and general term that is often used in official texts or administrative language. In everyday speech, people usually name the specific institution, e.g. 'Schule' (school), 'Universität' (university), or 'Volkshochschule' (adult education center).
Alle Bildungseinrichtungen müssen ein Hygienekonzept vorlegen.

The term is often combined with adjectives that describe the provider or type of institution. Common examples are 'staatliche' (state), 'private' (private), or 'öffentliche' (public) educational institutions.

school
'die Schule' and 'die Bildungseinrichtung' both refer to places or institutions where people learn. 'die Schule' is concrete and normally means an institution for children and young people. 'die Bildungseinrichtung' is more general and sounds more formal. It can also include universities, academies, or institutions for continuing education. In everyday language, people usually say 'Schule'; in official texts, 'Bildungseinrichtung' is often a better fit.
