Microsoft announced the Education Edition at the BETT 2016 educational technology exhibition held last week in London.

MinecraftEDU will not be developed any further, but most of its features will be implemented in the Education Edition. Minecraft: Education Edition also builds on and extends the Windows 10 version of Minecraft.

This is based on the Pocket Edition of Minecraft (MCPE), which is written in C++, not in Java. At BETT, a Microsoft programmer told me that the aim for the Education Edition was to support all the features of the Java version.

In schools and colleges that use Office 365, students will be able to log on to Minecraft using their Office credentials. Alternatively, the Education Edition can easily be set up on a peer-to-peer classroom network, without a server.
