That's what our categories file looks like:
<Menu>
<Name>Education</Name>
<Icon>applications-education</Icon>
<Include>
<And>
<Category>Education</Category>
<Not>
<Category>Science</Category>
</Not>
</And>
</Include>
</Menu>
We can decide to drop the "Not Science" part, I'm guessing it was done so that Education doesn't get too crowded with "grown-ups" stuff by having a whole Science category.
The whole application category definition is just a mess. Still we shouldn't fix it by excluding certain categories. RKWard and R, for example, do it right by having only the Science & Math category assigned to them but not the Education category. If applications use "Education" which are far more scientific than educational, what we should do instead is ask them to remove "education". So yes, please remove the exclusion.
