Popis:	This article has examined the implications of distance to secondary school on the achievement of secondary and higher education in India. Using the 71st round of National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data, the article found that distance to secondary school beyond 2–3 km reduces the chances of getting secondary and higher education. For female members, secondary schools located beyond 2–3 km become a barrier to secondary and higher education; however, the distance beyond 5 km matters for male members. Economically better-off households and larger households have higher chances of completing secondary and higher education. Scheduled tribe households and households with casual workers have fewer chances of getting secondary or higher education. The households living in states with better transport facilities to the secondary schools have higher chances of getting secondary and higher education.
