Abstract: Abstract The adaptation of the MDGs, later superseded by the SDGs, is an ongoing process for many countries. Just 7 years before 2030, the target year for the SDGs, this study provides a report on how South African women leaders in schools were impacted by the MDGs and SDGs. It uses the qualitative review of secondary literature wherein document analysis is deployed. The study shows that the government of South Africa and the DBE embraced the MDGs and SDGs to make its NDP a success by promoting women to leadership positions. This chapter reveals that although the MDGs and SGDs had a positive impact on women leaders of South African schools, there are still many challenges that hinder achievements of SDG goals by 2030. The study recommends empowerment of individuals responsible for empowering women and implementation of systems and projects that can help improve the situation of women leaders in schools.
