I believe the answer is:

ringo starr

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

'liverpudlian' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'giant so involved in the basics of education?' is the wordplay.
'involved' indicates anagramming the letters (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'in the' indicates putting letters inside.
'basics of education?' becomes 'rrr' (I've seen this in another clue).
'giant'+'so'='giantso'
'giantso' with letters rearranged gives 'ingosta'.
'ingosta' inserted inside 'rrr' is 'RINGO STARR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ringo starr that I've seen before include "Beatle" , "first TV narrator" .)
