Internet cafes in Shijiazhuang, capital of north China's Hebei province, will employ a number of network tutors, providing a more complete service to youthful net surfers.

Zhao Tong'an, director of the provincial cultural department's market section, said that network tutors would be hired by Shijiazhuang's Internet cafes from April as a measure for standardized management.

The tutors will be responsible for safeguarding youthful net users from websites concerning violence or pornography, and helping them to deal with malfunctions.

Internet users under the age of 18 would only be allowed to logon for 2 hours on weekdays and 4 on holidays, said Zhao. The tutors would remind them to stop when the time limits expired.

Zhao said that parents should take an objective attitude towards the Internet, which was in fact merely a means of communication. Children became addicted to it because they were not mature.

He hoped that parents could learn some Internet-related knowledge, which would help their communication with children.

Besides, Hebei has introduced advanced network management system in cafes, as filters to the improper games, pictures and webpages.
