Empowering student health unit (UKS) cadres in the areas of eye health and entrepreneurship is crucial for preventing visual impairment and fostering a smart and productive generation. This activity aims to improve the quality of life and future of students through health education, eye health services used in learning, vision care, and entrepreneurship. The benefits of this educational activity include increased understanding of health, particularly regarding visual impairment and its management, preventing visual impairment, and enhancing entrepreneurial knowledge and skills. This community service activity utilizes a participatory educational method, prioritizing a needs-based approach for the target partners, namely junior high school students and, in particular, the UKS cadres. The activity was conducted in stages and divided into several main phases to ensure effective and sustainable transfer of knowledge and skills. The activity was conducted in several main sessions involving all 440 students in grades 7 and 8, including 27 UKS staff. The results of this community service program include increased knowledge of junior high school students about healthy vision, awareness of maintaining near and far vision within normal limits through healthy behaviors in using the sense of sight. Students' understanding of entrepreneurship from outside sources is also enhanced, as students have already received entrepreneurship lessons. However, information provided by outside sources will further strengthen and inspire them to create opportunities that align with their interests and talents. The skills of the Health Unit (UKS) cadres in conducting visual acuity checks independently and with peers are expected to be conducted periodically and routinely every three months, and incidentally if needed or if someone needs it due to complaints of decreased vision. The eye health and entrepreneurship education model can serve as a reference for other schools. It needs to be implemented continuously and in stages, in line with technological developments and the latest health policies.

Facilities and infrastructure are essential components in the provision of education, functioning to support the effectiveness of teaching and learning processes, student comfort, and the achievement of quality learning outcomes. In boarding-based Islamic schools (madrasah), facility needs become more complex due to the integration of formal academic curricula with religious instruction and a full residential system. The National Education Standards (SNP) serve as the national reference for the fulfillment of educational facilities in Indonesia; however, the standards do not specifically regulate boarding facilities, resulting in a gap in facility fulfillment among pesantren-based madrasah. This study aims to evaluate the suitability of educational facilities and infrastructure at MTsS Sunanul Husna, South Tangerang City, with the SNP and to identify inhibiting factors affecting the fulfillment of such standards. The research employed a qualitative case study design through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using interactive procedures, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that academic facilities are categorized as adequate, with classrooms, teacher rooms, administrative offices, computer laboratories, and a UKS room available and functioning, although the library and student sanitation facilities require improvement. Boarding facilities such as dormitories, worship areas, and kitchen facilities are categorized as good, despite not being covered in the SNP. The study reveals that financial limitations, centralized authority at the foundation level, and the absence of national standards for boarding education represent the main inhibiting factors. The study implies the need for the formulation of facility standards specifically for boarding madrasah and for strengthened collaboration among the government, foundations, and communities in fulfilling educational infrastructure.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Healthy School program at TK Negeri Pembina 2 Merangin based on school sanitation standards. The evaluation focused on three main aspects: the availability and quality of facilities, the habituation of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), and school sanitation management. This research used a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Informants included school principals, teachers, UKS officers, the Education Office, the Health Office, and parents. Data collection techniques included in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation. The results showed that while most sanitation facilities were available, they did not fully meet the standards. PHBS habituation was initiated but not evenly distributed. Managerial support from the school, especially budget allocation for facility maintenance and health education, needs improvement. This evaluation provides valuable input for schools and local governments to improve school sanitation policies.

Implementation of School Health Efforts can improve health status and shape students' clean and healthy living habits. Therefore, School Health Efforts with an emphasis on promotive and preventive efforts supported by quality curative and rehabilitative efforts, are very important and strategic to achieve the highest degree of health. Currently, the partner's UKS room has its own room and is complete with first aid kits and medicines. However, there is still a lack of utilization programs and there are no UKS staff members who can immediately provide first aid when a student is in pain. The purpose of UKS is to improve the quality of education and student learning achievement through improving the behavior of a clean and spiritual life so that students can grow and develop harmoniously and optimally along with being independent in their activities and ultimately becoming quality human beings. This community service was held at Songkar Public Elementary School, North Moyo District in May 2023. There are two methods used in this community service activity, namely counseling about UKS, choosing peers as small groups and role playing.

Results: The results of the data collection obtained for SMP did not have its own UKS room ,but it was still combined with the primary school room which was still in the same building. Schools do not have UKS cadres and have never done UKS program activities. The level of student knowledge related to UKS is also very low. Conclusion: the level of student knowledge after counseling was found as many as 36 (86%) people have good knowledge and 6 people (14%) have enough knowledge. This shows that the provision of counseling and training can increase student knowledge. Suggestions, for SatyaSai Junior High School and Denut 3 Public Health Center to make a policy about the importance of UKS and to continue the program to have UKS space and to form a UKS structure so that good student behavior is formed to increase PHBS in schools and to follow up
