I read the definition of 義務 because I found the word **義務** 教育:

> 人が人として，あるいは **立場上** ， **身分上** 当然しなければならないこと

I understand the definition as "Thing that a person has to do" but I can't
find the meanings of 立場上 and 身分上, so my understanding is excluding those
parts. What is the 上 meaning in these words? Is it the 上-definition:

> Noun, Noun which may take the genitive case particle 'no', Adverb (fukushi),
> Noun, used as a **suffix** : 1. above; up; over; elder (e.g.
> daughter)(jisho)

But then I don't understand how the sentence makes sense.

Question about meaning of words 立場上 and 身分上
This ～上【じょう】 is a suffix that forms an adverb/no-adjective meaning "～-wise",
"in terms of ～" or "from the viewpoint of ～".

  * [I need help analyzing the phrase 発音上の](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/61291/5010)
  * [What does it mean to be "over a law"?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4329/5010)
  * [Why isn't a large amount of money a good enough reason to kill someone?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/3174/5010)

For example:

  * 金銭上: in terms of money; financially
  * 文法上: grammar-wise; grammatically
  * 教育上: from an educational point of view; educationally
  * 法律上: according to the law; legally speaking
  * 計算上: mathematically speaking; if my calculation is correct

立場 is "standpoint", and 身分 is "social status/position". 立場 is something that
can change depending on the situation, while 身分 is something that is fixed for
a long time (sometimes for the entire life).

In your sentence, I think 上 can be translated like:

> 立場 **上** 、身分 **上** 当然しなければならないこと  
>  a thing one must naturally do **{based on | in accord with}** his/her
> position
