He pointed out that there was a Supreme Court order on this matter on September 1.
The exemption is only for those teachers who are set to retire within 5 years, but they will not get a promotion, he said.
Around 15,000 teachers will be affected by the order.
However, Rymbui said the government may file an appeal in the court.
