'girl in class we hear' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'wrongly instruct' is the wordplay.
'wrongly' becomes 'mis' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'instruct' becomes 'inform'.
'mis'+'inform'='MISINFORM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for misinform that I've seen before include "Instruct wrongly" , "teach badly" , "Deceive" , "Wrongly advise" , "Wrongly teach" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
