The name "Scholasticide" is older than "Educide", and has more hits in google books and google scholar. Note, to get a correct assessment of frequency, the word educide needs to be searched for in inverted commas (to ignore google's incorrect inclusion of words like educode) and one needs to manually remove the Latin books with the word educide (which means something very different in the original Latin).
