    No such place. To get an *.edu domain, you have to be an accredited postsecondary institutions and organizations that are accredited by nationally recognized accrediting agencies. A site about education isn;t going to qualify.

    Wrong. Start a college/university and then get accreditation from the government... and then perhaps.

    OP: long story short, you cant

    You need to get letter from your country higher learning department then sent the approved letter to domain registrar.
    Then you can only get a .edu domain.

    Yup, but please see step two:

    http://net.educause.edu/edudomain/

    There are a few grandfathered non institutions out there with *.edu's but I'm sure they're holding onto those.

    You cant get a .edu only because you want to create an educational site ;)
    Simply you cant get one
    Better buy a .com domain and try to get .edu backlinks ;)
