Ought to be a good rhyme (6)
I believe the answer is:
should
'ought to' is the definition.
('you ought to' means 'you should')
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for should that I've seen before include "Has an obligation to (do)" , "Ought" , "Had better" , "Past tense of 'shall'" , "Has a duty to (do)" .)
