This research is motivated by the decline of universal values influenced by the rapid growth of technology and weak social-family support, schools emerge as strategic institutions to foster the integrity of universal values. This study aims to explore the important role of universal values at all levels of education in the implementation through physical education in schools. This research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study to explain the relationship between teachers and the application of universal values in physical education. The number of informants in this study was 30 teachers with details of 10 elementary school teachers, 10 junior high school teachers and 10 senior high school teachers. The findings show that elementary, junior high school, and senior high school teachers implement value education with varying depths from instilling basic virtues to engaging in ethical reflection. Although teacher competence is good, challenges such as limited time, lack of parental support, diverse student backgrounds, and integration programs that have not been planned perfectly. The results of this study conclude that collaborative efforts between educators and families are essential to strengthen consistent value formation. In addition, integrating value education with environmental education can foster sustainable attitudes and responsible behavior. This study emphasizes that values education must be embedded in school culture, supported by planned programs, competent teachers and parental cooperation.
