school head?

Looks like EDIFIES = teaches

education = ED, provided = IF, ??? = IES

ed +if +? +s

the clue provided leaves out the word 'say' ...
should be:
12a Teaches education provided, say, by school head
EDIFIES = ED (education) IF (provided) IE (say) S(chool)
i thought there were some iffy clues today!!
