reeducated
Given new instruction
Reeducated is the past tense of reeducate, meaning to educate again or differently.
The word often carries sinister connotations from its use by authoritarian regimes, where reeducation means ideological indoctrination through coercion: Political prisoners were sent to camps to be reeducated.
In neutral contexts, it simply means retrained: Workers were reeducated for the new technology.
