"Hierdie bundel omvat die besinning van 'n kollega wat nie skroom om standpunt in te neem oor die brandende kwessies van onderwys, taal en sosiale geregtigheid nie. Sy betrokkenheid by die onderwys stel Le Corceur in staat om met insig en gesag te skryf oor die uitdagings én hoe dit in suksesse verander kan word in ons strewe na 'n land waarop almal trots kan wees." Professor Maureen Robinson, former Dean of Education, Stellenbosch University
