Payment for further education in English (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fee

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

'payment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'further education in english' is the wordplay.
'further education in' becomes 'fe' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'fe'+'e'='FEE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Sum payable to, say, barrister" , "Charge for professional services" , "Cost" , "price" , "Sum payable to professional person for services" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
