noted

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

'eminent' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'model has education it follows no?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'model' could be 't' (Ford Model T car) and 't' is found within the answer.
'education' could be 'ed' (abbreviation - e.g. sex ed) and 'ed' is found within the answer.
'no?' could be 'o' (resembles 0 - 'no' can mean 'zero') and 'o' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
