A descriptive analysis of the socioeconomic status of young girls in rural schools in South Africa is provided. Drawing from an asset-based framework, we found the voices of female school leaders and young girls are assets and agents for strengthening transformation in rural South African schools. The discussion foregrounds the role of context, the role of young people, and the role of leadership toward meaningful and relevant transformation in the South African schooling system.
