School starts to employ more educational programme (6)
I believe the answer is:
scheme
'programme' is the definition.
(scheme is a kind of programme)
'school starts to employ more educational' is the wordplay.
'school' becomes 'sch'.
'starts to' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'employ more educational' is 'eme'.
'sch'+'eme'='SCHEME'
(Other definitions for scheme that I've seen before include "Systematic plan, plot" , "Plan; system" , "Connive, intrigue" , "Program" , "Machination" .)
