lme4: Obtaining the SE of difference in two fixed-effects slope

Dear Simon,

You want to compute a contrast. You can do this with the glht() function
from the multcomp package.

Dear All,

I'm interested in obtaining standard error (SE) of [*meanses - ses]*
estimate
in my model below which serves as the contextual effect coefficient.

Is there a way to obtain this SE in R?

hsb <- read.csv('
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rnorouzian/e/master/hsb.csv')

fit <- lmer(math ~ ses + meanses + (1|sch.id), data = hsb)

coef(summary(fit))

             Estimate Std. Error   t value
(Intercept) 12.661262  0.1493726 84.762956
ses          2.191165  0.1086673 20.163983
meanses      3.675037  0.3776607  9.731055
