And there are some groups of people that see no purpose to an education【B3】______ and ignore this requirement altogether. But for most, and reasonably so, a twelve-year education is the minimum. In view of the【B4】______ of our society and the changes taking place, one would think that a person would need at least twelve years education in order to cope. However, in recent years, a great many people have begun to question the purpose of having【B5】______ education for twelve years.
