Insight lacking in education (7)
I believe the answer is:
tuition
'education' is the definition.
(tuition is a kind of education)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tuition that I've seen before include "(Individual) instruction" , "Personal coaching" , "Lessons" , "Schooling" , "Training" .)
