Description

Definition
CHHEDGETOSCHL reports the means of transport that the child selected for the child education module (CHHEDKIDLINENO) uses to travel to school.

The information in CHHEDGETOSCHL is taken from the household record and applies to regular household members, not temporary visitors. Researchers may wish to exclude visitors using the RESIDENT variable (with visitors coded "2") when women, children, or births are the unit of analysis, and using the HHRESIDENT variable when household members are the unit of analysis.
