Morphology

reeducation + initiative

The phrase is directly compositional: 'reeducation' (a program for retraining or teaching) combined with 'initiative' (an organized plan) yields a planned program to retrain or reform people. This straightforward noun+noun combination follows common cross-linguistic patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the overall meaning.

Etymology

The noun reeducation initiative comes from reeducation, meaning 'teaching again' to change skills or ways of thinking, and initiative, meaning 'a planned project'. So a reeducation initiative is a project started to teach people new skills or change their behaviour, which is why it describes organized programs to train or help people fit into society.
