A similar question was on the list several times. The general answer
would be "yes", provided that :
- your system supports running HVM guest
- you give students access to HVM guest
- students can only create PV guests

If your system does not support HVM guest you may be able to get
similar result using Virtualbox or Vmware.

Whether or not the performance is acceptable is another matter though,
so you should try it yourself.

Fajar
