'very bitter' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'british school curriculum?' is the wordplay.
'british' becomes 'br' (abbreviation for British).
'school curriculum?' becomes 'rr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'br'+'rr'='BRRR'

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brrr that I've seen before include "I'm definitely not hot" , "Cold person's exclamation" , "How freezing" , "Indication of iciness" , "Complaint about cold" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
