Where does it say that Science is a sub-category of Education? It only
says: "Additional Categories should always be used in combination with
*one*of*the Main Categories." and "The Related Categories column lists
one or more categories that are *suggested* to be used in conjunction
with the Additional Category." (my emphasis)

I don't think that using another main category together with Science
is forbidden.
