Is the word educativos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes

The spelling, meaning, and grammatical function of "educativos" are identical in both Brazilian and European Portuguese. The only difference is in pronunciation. Brazilian Portuguese features more open, clear vowels and a more syllable-timed rhythm. In European Portuguese, unstressed vowels are often reduced or almost silenced (vowel reduction), and the rhythm is more stress-timed, which makes the word sound more "clipped" or compressed to a Brazilian ear.
