12 years of schooling is more than sufficient. That does not mean that 12 is the magic number exactly. But yes, I believe that <=12 will remain sufficient for public schooling forever. Not to be confused with education. There is no timeframe on education. Education never stops. Robots and software actually make the world simpler. When we were an agrarian society, farmers had to know how to do basically everything imaginable to be able to be productive. It took a lifetime of training, starting as soon as you were old enough to walk, in order to learn the ropes and take in the deep knowledge passed from generation to generation. Industrialization simplified contributions so that one only had to specialize, negating the need to be there from birth. The information revolution simplified things further still. Now we have teenagers who are starting highly successful software businesses after spending a few months in front of a computer. The next revolution, whatever it may be, will only make contributions even more accessible, just as each time before.
