'a pest?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'does it have a lot to learn about' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is present in the answer.
'about' could be 're' (regarding) and 're' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'being' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
