What is Device Management Application (DMA)?

Updated by BBSS

A DMA will come pre-installed on all PLDs purchased through the school and will be installed on any student-owned devices parents/guardians opt for the student to use in lieu of the PLD, subject to parental/guardian consent. The DMA has 3 main components which will support the use of the PLD in the classroom and safeguard students’ cyber wellness:

  • Classroom Management Service. To help teachers manage students’ use of the PLD during lesson time to improve classroom management and support effective teaching and learning.

  • Mobile Device Management Service. To help update and manage the PLD, protect the PLD from malicious software, and protects students from objectionable internet content.

  • Usage Management Service.  To enable school and/or parents/guardians to better supervise and set helpful limits for students’ use of PLD after school.


The DMA software, Mobile Guardian, will be installed on your child’s PLD to provide a safe learning experience and to prevent misuse. 

  • Installation of the DMA is after the collection of the device.

  • This installation applies to devices purchased through the school and pre-existing student-owned devices.

The DMA is funded by MOE, and will be uninstalled from the PLD when your child/ward graduates from our school.
