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

'her alcopops abuse exposed in student' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'publication' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'publication' could be 'paper' (a paper is a type of publication) and 'paper' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'school' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?
