Worn by a scholar - a pioneer in education? (6,6)
I believe the answer is:
school blazer
'worn by a scholar a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'pioneer in education?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pioneer' could be 'blaze' (I've seen this before) and 'blaze' is present in the answer.
'education?' could be 'school' (school is a kind of education) and 'school' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for school blazer that I've seen is " Student's uniform jacket".)
