A revolution has arrived in Spanish classrooms, and teachers, students, and parents alike must adapt to it.

The fact that mobile phones have become indispensable for children at increasingly younger ages has prompted many Autonomous Communities to take action to curb a scenario that, in many cases, impairs socialization and student learning in primary and secondary schools.

As a result, through various measures ranging from total bans to less strict protocols depending on the region, mobile phone use in classrooms has been significantly restricted, along with all the consequences that entails.

What does the mobile phone ban in schools entail?

Undoubtedly, this new framework generates doubts and uncertainties not only among students, but also among parents. How to proceed? Should children leave home without a mobile phone and be completely out of touch until they return? Should they keep it “hidden” in their backpack or pocket, with the temptation that entails and the risk of it being confiscated and the student disciplined? Should they leave it in a shared drawer or cabinet, with the associated risks of loss or theft?

Nothing seems to be the perfect solution, but there is an alternative that represents the ideal middle ground in this new regulatory landscape: Megablok’s mobile phone lockers.

At this point, schools and secondary institutes have two options depending on their needs: mobile storage lockers and mobile charging lockers (the latter charge the device’s battery in addition to providing secure custody).

1. Mobile Phone Storage Lockers

This first option refers to mobile phone lockers or storage units designed solely for the secure custody of devices.

Two of the main examples of mobile storage lockers available in our educational sector catalog are the Minibox Series and CB11 Series lockers, both featuring customization options such as the desired locking mechanism (key lock, mechanical combination lock, etc.).

2. Mobile Phone Charging Lockers

This second option provides not only secure custody of devices, but also their charging—a highly useful feature given that these devices often drain quickly, ensuring students return home with sufficient battery. It is worth emphasizing that this does not involve connection to Wi-Fi networks or anything similar; it is purely electrical device charging, thereby eliminating any risk of “contamination” or introduction of potential viruses to the device.

For this second option, the best alternative offered by Megablok—manufacturers of equipment solutions for over 27 years—is the Charging Box: a mobile phone locker with up to 12 compartments that allows mobile devices to charge while being safely secured.

Whether you are looking for mobile phone storage lockers or mobile phone charging lockers, at Megablok you will find the perfect solution to adapt your school or secondary institute to the new legislation.

And as proof of this, here is the example of the Riojan secondary school IES Hermanos D’Elhuyar, which has already taken a step forward by introducing Megablok’s mobile phone lockers in its classrooms.
