How a UAE school group rolled out 3,000 phone pouches across 5 campuses
3,000 branded pouches, 25 unlocking stations and a phased rollout reduced classroom distractions by 78% in one term.
Challenge
The group wanted to implement a consistent phone-free policy across five campuses without creating daily conflict between teachers and students, and without the liability of storing confiscated phones.
Solution
PhoneLock supplied 3,000 branded neoprene pouches in two sizes, 25 magnetic unlocking stations, staff training videos and parent communication templates.
Rollout
A phased rollout started with one grade, then expanded campus by campus. Teachers were trained in 15 minutes and students understood the lock/unlock routine within a week.
Results
- ✓Classroom distractions fell by 78% in the first term
- ✓Parent complaints about confiscation dropped to zero
- ✓The policy is now cited in the school's admissions marketing
"PhoneLock made the policy enforceable without making it punitive."
