More and more parents are privately financing tablets so that their children can use them for digital lessons in the spirit of 1:1 equipment for pupils. However, as soon as these devices are also used in the afternoons, at weekends or during the vacations, uncertainties arise. Many parents, teachers and schools ask themselves whether school settings will remain in place, which apps may be installed and used and how the protection of sensitive data is guaranteed. Responsibility for potential problems is also often unclear.

Without clear regulations, private use can quickly lead to challenges. For example, unwanted content could end up on the devices or important school configurations could be inadvertently changed. A well thought-out solution is needed to ensure the safe and smooth use of tablets both at school and during free time.

Mobile device management (MDM) such as Relution enables targeted control and flexible management of parent-financed devices. During lesson times, the devices are optimally configured for digital learning, while during free time, defined rules are in place to enable safe private use. This ensures that the devices are protected at all times.

With the right management solution, a clear separation between school and private use can be created - for smooth use in the classroom and safe use at home.
