Is it permissible to make a compulsory donation to have children accepted into a school outside the residential district in order to avoid a bad school?

If the donation is obligatory for the son's enrollment, and the money will be spent on the maintenance of the school or its activities and for the benefit of the students, or if it is tuition fees for a private school, there is no harm in paying it. However, if the director will take the money for himself, then this is a prohibited bribe and a major sin, except in cases of necessity to repel injustice or to obtain a right that cannot be obtained otherwise. In the event of a conflict between paying a bribe and enrolling the son or keeping him in a bad school, one must weigh the two evils and commit the lesser of them. It is recommended to ask the scholars in the questioner's country to ascertain the reality of the situation.
