If the system prevents students from outside the area from enrolling, in order to preserve the public interest and security, then it is not permissible to resort to deception to obtain a forged residency certificate, and this is considered forbidden fraud and forgery.

It is advisable to negotiate with the school administration to ascertain the truth of the matter.
