Students ability to clear history on managed devices

We currently have our devices set up for students that they cannot clear their browser history. We have just discovered there is a loophole in this setting. If a student signs into their school account on their phone, they can clear their browsing history. Do you know if there is a way to prevent students from signing into a personal device with their school account? Or is there a setting I need to change to prevent students from being able to clear their history on their personal devices?

We also make an effort to block this.

I'm curious to know what the importance to prevent users from clearing history is... 

I am not as concerned about end users doing this because I have a filtering solution in place that logs traffic/history.  This is certainly nice to have for a secondary way to show use/history, but I don't rely on this as a tool or single source of data.

We also have a filter that logs traffic, but teachers don't have access to it. With the device's history, teachers on site can quickly see what the student has been up to.
