Religious education is included in climb (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rise

'climb' is the definition.
('rise' can be a synonym of 'climb')

'religious education is included' is the wordplay.
'religious education' becomes 're'.
'included' indicates putting letters inside.
're' enclosing 'is' is 'RISE'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rise that I've seen before include "To swell (bread)" , "Go up" , "Get out of bed, sire" , "Ascent" , "Ascend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
