Keep exhaustively-detailed logs of every nanosecond spent fixing one of the
PCs/restoring/re-imaging it and note the student's name. Submit this weekly
to all management. If you are asked to work on other projects, show them how
much time was spent doing this, and explain that there are only so many
hours in a week, and ask your management which task they would rather you
did, as it's one or the other.

Also, you may be able to do what a lot of computer training centers do &
entirely re-image the machines nightly.
