It will also audit teachers and pupils to find ghost teachers.
The council says teachers have come forward with allegations that posts are allegedly being sold for over R20,000 per post.
The ELRC hopes to complete the audit by October.
The forensic investigation is expected to be completed by June 2026.
ELRC spokesperson Bernice Loxton said the timelines are realistic and won’t disrupt schooling.
