Push student to get an implement (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shovel

'an implement' is the definition.
(shovel is a kind of implement)

'push student' is the wordplay.
'push' becomes 'shove' (shove is a kind of push**).
'student' becomes 'l' (as in L-plates for learner drivers).
'shove'+'l'='SHOVEL'

'to get' is the link.

(Other definitions for shovel that I've seen before include "Tool for scooping" , "Scoop for lifting and carrying" , "Excavator" , "Old clerical hat" , "Spade-like scoop" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
