why is here in 3rd person singular verb without s? is it a mistake or some special struvture??? I suggest he learn more.

"He learn" is subjunctive mood. In this form we don �t add "s" ending as it has nothing to do with present simple.

After the verb"suggest" you can have the following variants:

suggest that he learn

suggest that he should learn

suggest learning

Another example is "demand"

They demanded that he (should) be on time.

Also - subjunctive mood!
