The Mother Child Education Foundation (ACEV) and the Ministry of National Education continue to collaborate within the context of the Mother Child Education Program, The Preschool Parent-Child Education Program, and the Father Support Program.

The Mother Child Education Program is run in collaboration with the Ministry of National Education's Apprenticeship and Non-Formal Education General Directorate, the Preschool Parent-Child Education Program with the Ministry of National Education's Preschool Education General Directorate, and the Father Support Program with the Ministry of National Education's Apprenticeship and Non-Formal Education General Directorate, and the Special Education Guidance and Counseling Services General Directorate.

These three programs were developed by ACEV, and are now implemented by educators attached to the Ministry of National Education. ACEV provides trainer training for these programs, as well as supervision during the implementation.

The Functional Adult Literacy Program is run within the context of the protocol signed with the Ministry of National Education.
