reeducate
Instill new beliefs
Reeducate means to teach someone again, typically to change their beliefs, attitudes, or behavior.
The term often carries sinister connotations, associated with authoritarian regimes that use coercive methods to force political conformity: Dissidents were sent to camps to be reeducated.
In neutral contexts, it simply means to retrain or update someone's knowledge or skills: The company reeducated its workforce on the new safety protocols.
