 educational system
New York has the largest public education system in the country. The NYC
Department of Education is divided into 32 school districts and serves more than 1
million students in more than 1,500 schools. Unlike many countries, public education
in the US tends to be of high quality, where schools offer different programs and great
infrastructure.

Any child between the ages of 5 and 21 is entitled to free public education. The child
can enroll in a school within your area
school, which is based on the address where you live. To enroll, it is not necessary to
have a green card or a Social Security number - proof of residence is enough.
the system is divided into elementary midlle and high school

The problem is that the most prestigious high schools demanded high performance
from students in state exams, tests or middle school work portfolios. Since many low-
income blacks and Hispanics have spent years in failed schools, they are unable to
enter high-level high schools, which would prepare them to enter college.
According to the New York Times, this educational system was not designed for low-
income students, but for keeping middle-class whites in public schools. Even those
who supported the start of this system 20 years ago, now recognize that it promotes
racial segregation. The isolation that already happens in elementary schools and
middle schools ends up perpetuating itself in high schools.
Employment
A typical work week includes Monday through Friday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm,
making up a typical 40-hour workweek. There are 12 public holidays in New York
State each year. On a public holiday, Sometimes called a bank holiday, public and
government institutions and schools are closed. However, it is not mandatory for
private companies to close so many restaurants and shops that they can remain
open. Public transport also operates, but usually with time restrictions.
In New York, an employer is not required to provide employees with vacation
benefits, paid or unpaid. If an employer chooses to provide such benefits, they
must comply with the terms of their policy or established employment contract.
requires that all New York State employees receive a minimum wage of $ 13.50
an hour for an adult employee working in companies with 10 or fewer employees
and $ 15.00 an hour for those working in companies with 11 or more employees.
An employment contract must be made in writing and must have two copies: one
for the employee and one for the employer. In general, contracts must be
concluded for an indefinite period. The Labor Code allows finite-term contracts in
only a few cases, mainly seasonal or occasional work or public paid work
 Public security
Currently, New York is experiencing its safest moment in decades, where
specialists present different data for the interpretation of this phenomenon,
some of which are the increase in the number of hired policemen, exceeding
the number of 53,000 hired employees.
the use of new technology such as the computerized CompStat system (a
system where the police chief knew the position of police officers, where
crimes were committed and the impact of police officers' position on crime
rates) was implemented by the New York police. With such great success,
other US cities followed suit
There was also a change in police strategy, which was a point that caused
controversy. There are those who associate the phenomenon with "zero
tolerance" or the "broken window theory" that city officials have
implemented in the past, aggressively watching for minor violations of the
law to prevent more serious crimes from occurring. But there are those who
deny that this is the secret behind the drop in crime
Even so, the New York police have significantly reduced its "stop and frisk"
policy, that is, to approach and search passers-by.
in 2013, the court determined that the practice violated constitutional
guarantees and that it was discriminatory against Latinos and blacks, since
they tended to be more approached than whites..
 Health system
The United States is the only rich country in the world without a universal
health care system. The country has just enacted legislation that requires
health coverage for almost everyone. Its system can be described as a
hybrid, and in 2014, 48% of US healthcare spending came from private
funds - 28% from families and 20% from private companies. The federal
government was responsible for 28% of spending, while state and local
governments were responsible for 17%. Most health care, even
There are basically three types of health insurance in new york
Health insurance via employer or private - is when the person has access to
insurance on account of their work. Generally, the cost of monthly
insurance is divided between the company and the employer. The self-
employed and freelancers, who pay full insurance out of their own pocket,
also fit here. It is worth remembering that a worker does not necessarily
have to take out insurance only among those offered by his employer.
Medicare - is a publicly funded insurance (through taxes paid by the
taxpayer) for the elderly (over 65 years old). Medicare also covers some
people with disabilities. Only those who have contributed are entitled - and
the contribution is linked to the collection through salary.
Medicaid - is a program like Medicare but aimed at low-income people and
has no direct contribution from beneficiary citizens. It is funded by the state
and coverage varies from state to state.
