Learning without distractions: lockers to control smartphone use in the classroom

According to the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) report of the OCDE, 30% of students admit to being distracted by personal digital devices in the classroom.

The educational establishment and families in general are increasingly concerned about the use of smartphones during school hours. Hence, education centres are already implementing measures to control smartphone use in the classroom.

Lockers for smartphones

Installing lockers in schools can help in this regard. Schools can allocate a specific place in the classroom where students can leave their smartphones at the start of class and recover them at the end. This solution allows students to have their devices during school hours in a safe and adapted space.

POLYPAL’s smartphone lockers offer different individual compartment options. This allows schools to choose the capacity best suited to their requirements. This flexibility ensures enough compartments for all students and creates an organised and effective process for collecting and returning mobile devices.

Lockers with chargers

To ensure students’ phones don’t run out of battery before the end of the school day, as they may need their phones for essential communications or emergency situations, the ideal choice is lockers with charging points. This type of locker with a power connection allows devices to be charged while the phone is in safe storage.

Safe storage

Teaching staff and students can have peace of mind thanks to the safety provided by these lockers. Academic staff can make sure that students are not using their smartphones during class, while avoiding the risk of loss or theft, as the phones are secure. School lockers offer several types of locking systems, ranging from keyhole with key to digital combination locks.

Our range of lockers provides a secure solution for school centres wishing to implement this type of measure to regulate smartphone use in the classroom and to create learning environments free of distractions.

At POLYPAL, as experts in lockers, we design storage spaces for junior and high schools, in-keeping with aesthetic requirements and the use made by the actual centre.
