How can I understand this "confrom"?

How can I understand this "confrom"?

In countries where English is predominantly the native language, the form of written English taught in the schools is normally the STANDARD variety, the variety associated with the educated users of the languages in that country. However, it is now less usual than in the past for teachers to attempt to make the local spoken variety [conform] with some educated spoken nor.

I checked out the meaning of "conform", but I couldn't figure out the meaning of whole sentence.
Could you rephrase that for me, please?
