I bought the iPad Air 5th Gen (10.9") a few weeks ago for education. In fact, my choice fell on the iPad Air, because on the one hand it was a bit cheaper than the iPad Pro and on the other hand it will be completely sufficient for my needs. The question you should always ask yourself before buying is What exactly do I want to do with this iPad? Do I need more memory because I want to store a lot on the device or do I use the larger iCloud for little money?. The question of storage is one of the most important in my opinion, because that's where the price difference between the iPad Air 5th Gen and the iPad Pro becomes noticeable. I don't have the costs completely in my memory anymore, but here in my country the difference between the smallest memory of the iPad Air 5th Gen and the second largest memory of the iPad Pro was about 200€.
