Timetable in school education and university followed by the French (8)
I believe the answer is:
schedule
'timetable' is the definition.
(I know that schedule is a type of timetable)
'school education and university followed by the french' is the wordplay.
'school education' becomes 'sched' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'university' becomes 'U' (abbreviation as in UMass).
'followed by' says to put letters next to each other.
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'sched'+'u'+'le'='SCHEDULE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for schedule that I've seen before include "List of times and places for events" , "Timetable; plan of action" , "List of duties, etc" , "Plan of activities" , "List of times when things should happen" .)
