Questions & Answers about L'administration doit justifier le cursus vu que la scolarité change.

Does vu que require the subjunctive since it ends with que?
No. Even though many conjunctions ending in que take the subjunctive, vu que introduces an objective, established fact (seeing that). Therefore, it takes the indicative. Here, change is just the regular present indicative.
How does vu que change the tone of this sentence compared to parce que?
While parce que simply gives a neutral reason, vu que (seeing that) and étant donné que (given that) are argumentative. They present the changing schooling as a widely known, undeniable premise that logically forces the administration's hand.
Do I pronounce the final "s" in cursus?
Yes! Because cursus is a word borrowed directly from Latin, you pronounce the final "s", which breaks the standard French rule for silent final consonants.
Why use la scolarité here instead of l'école or l'éducation?
la scolarité refers specifically to the academic journey, the curriculum structure, or the period of school attendance. L'école usually means the physical school itself, while l'éducation is a much broader term about raising or educating someone in general.
