Unprecedented benefit connects teachers to advantages in food, services, and travel through a partnership between the federal government and a digital platform, expanding the reach of the teacher appreciation program with simplified access via an active professional ID and automatic data integration.

With an **active National Teacher ID of Brazil (CNDB)**, teachers now have access to a free iFood Club subscription within the #TôComProf program, an initiative led by the Ministry of Education focused on the practical appreciation of teaching work in the country.

Since **March 6, 2026**, the measure has been in effect and can reach up to **2.7 million professionals**, consolidating one of the largest direct benefit actions ever integrated into public policies aimed at basic education throughout the national territory.

By establishing the partnership with iFood, the MEC guaranteed a **100% discount on the iFood Club monthly fee**, a subscription model that gathers advantages within the platform, conditioning access to the automatic validation of the CNDB in the official systems of the federal government.

In addition to the total exemption from the monthly fee, eligible teachers find coupons and offers in the app, while the package also includes discounts of up to **25% on flights and accommodations through Decolar**, extending the reach of benefits beyond daily consumption.

#TôComProf Program and Teacher Appreciation

Included in the **More Teachers for Brazil** program, #TôComProf was established by Decree No. 12,358, of January 2025, with the proposal to structure policies that reinforce the appreciation, retention, and attractiveness of the teaching career.

Within this strategy, the Ministry of Education began to articulate agreements with private companies, seeking to offer differentiated conditions for essential services and products used in the daily lives of basic education professionals.

Currently, the program brings together **45 partner companies**, which provide various benefits in areas such as technology, accommodation, food, and services, all accessible through the CNDB, which functions as a validation and identification key for participants.

What changes for teachers on iFood

With the inclusion of iFood in the program, eligible teachers no longer bear the iFood Club monthly fee, now using the benefits available on the platform according to current rules and the availability of offers in each region.

Among the advantages offered are promotions on orders placed through the app, covering restaurants, markets, pharmacies, and other registered establishments, which expands the possibilities of daily use for users.

Even so, the gratuity does not automatically extend to all users, as the benefit requires the professional to have an active CNDB and their data recognized by the integrated systems of the federal government.

Through this integration, verification occurs automatically, eliminating the need for manual proof with each partner company, provided that the teacher’s registration is updated and regular in the official records.

CNDB as a requirement to unlock benefits

Created as an official professional identification document, the National Teacher ID of Brazil centralizes access to appreciation programs and initiatives aimed at teaching at the federal level.

In the context of #TôComProf, the CNDB has become an indispensable element for unlocking discounts and advantages, as it is through it that eligibility is validated with partner platforms.

Without an active document, the teacher cannot complete the verification process, which prevents access to available benefits, including the free iFood Club subscription.

Considering the official estimate, about **2.7 million teachers** can be covered, including basic education professionals and others in practice who meet the criteria defined by the MEC.

More Teachers for Brazil gathers other actions

Beyond commercial benefits, the More Teachers for Brazil program includes structural initiatives aimed at the training, appreciation, and retention of teachers in the educational system.

Among the planned measures are initial and continuing education actions, incentives for undergraduate courses, and policies aimed at reducing the shortage of teachers in areas with higher demand.

In this scenario, #TôComProf acts as a practical complement, offering advantages that directly impact the daily lives of professionals, without replacing the other structural policies provided for by the program.

The use of CNDB as an access base allows integrating different actions into a single system, simplifying processes and reducing bureaucratic steps for participating teachers.

Partnership between iFood and the federal government

iFood’s adherence to the program reinforces the company’s strategy to expand its involvement in public interest initiatives, especially in collaboration with federal government agencies.

Before this partnership, the platform had already established cooperation with the Ministry of Health to support the dissemination of informative campaigns and actions aimed at delivery drivers.

In the case of education, the action is directed at teachers, with the offer of continuous benefits through the Clube iFood structure, without a monthly fee for eligible users.

It is worth noting that offer conditions may vary according to factors such as region, availability, and current campaigns, following the rules defined by the platform itself.

How to access the free Clube iFood

To activate the benefit, the teacher must have an active CNDB and access the iFood application, where they should locate the specific benefits area linked to Clube iFood.

After this step, the system automatically validates the data with federal government databases, allowing eligibility confirmation without the need for manual document submission.

With the verification completed, the free subscription can be activated directly on the platform, respecting the conditions presented in the application at the time of enrollment.
