Metaverse brings a new era in educational settings, providing a wide range of services, such as VR-and XR-based skill training and AI-driven individualised learning experiences. While educational metaverses unlock unique opportunities for enriched learning experiences, they concurrently raise security and privacy concerns due to their heterogeneous nature. In this work, we provide a concise overview of the potentials of metaverse technologies within education and how their vulnerabilities could hinder them, formulating critical research questions encompassing a wide spectrum of concerns. In addition, we provide an overview of research works promising a trustworthy metaverse environment and propose potential remedies to address the identified challenges. By exploring these issues, this work aims to contribute to the development of trustworthy educational metaverse environments.
