SkieOSSkieOS for schools
Every student device, controlled from one dashboard.
Schools buy tablets so students can learn, then find them used for games and social media within days. SkieOS enforces what each device can do at system level, so a class device stays a class device, and teachers, heads of section and the principal each manage exactly what is theirs.
The problem
What usually goes wrong.
- Students install games and social apps within days of getting a device
- Teachers lose lesson time because devices are off task
- IT staff cannot change apps for 200 devices quickly
- Nobody knows when a student tries to reset or bypass the device
- Leaders cannot see device status across branches
How SkieOS helps
Set it up once, run it every day.
- 1
Set the structure once
Create your organisation, locations and groups. Schools usually mirror their branches, grades and sections.
- 2
Choose the rules
Pick the allowed apps, browsing level and daily schedules. Rules flow down from the top level to each group.
- 3
Connect the devices
Pair each Android 12+ device from a phone or laptop. It joins its group and applies the rules during setup.
- 4
Run it day to day
Change apps for a whole group in one step, and see any tamper attempt or silent device straight away.
Who it is for
A good fit if you are:
- School groups with several branches
- Schools running 1:1 tablet or phone programmes
- Schools that want teacher-level control without IT involvement
Questions
Common questions.
Can teachers change apps for their own class?
Yes. A teacher signs in to a dashboard scoped to their class and can change allowed apps for every device in it, with the change reaching the devices straight away.
Does it work on the tablets we already own?
It works on any Android 12 or newer device. An existing tablet is reset and set up once so it can be managed.
Can students remove it?
SkieOS runs as the Android device owner, so factory reset, safe mode, developer options and unapproved installs are blocked at system level, and any attempt is reported.
