Advised to arrange education (9)

I believe the answer is:

cautioned

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'advised' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with communicating as well as being past participle verbs.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'arrange education' is the wordplay.
'arrange' is an anagram indicator.
'education' with letters rearranged gives 'CAUTIONED'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cautioned that I've seen before include "Gave warning" , "Given formal warning" , "Education (anag)" , "Warned by way of education" .)
