Mental health and education are essential for a country to develop appropriately. This is because society in the future
will depend on the quality of education today. Even the quality of education participants depends on the quality of
existing mental health. This research was carried out to look at the mental health policies in Indonesia’s education
sector. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach. The data used in this research comes from various
research results and previous studies still related to mental health in the education sector. The results of this study
then found that mental health in Indonesia, especially in the education sector, can be realized and improved by
implementing the UKS program. By implementing well-planned and evaluated programs, the physical and mental
health of the community in the education sector can be carried out effectively and efficiently. The optimal
implementation of the UKS program includes health education and changes and habits in clean and healthy living
behavior, both physically and psychologically healthy. It is crucial to support this with three strengths, namely
