Abstract: A PREVIOUS ARTICLE 1 dealing with the factual aspects of wastage among evening students at the College of Technology and Commerce, Cardiff, ca) it was stated that the investigation was still continuing.The second stage of this investigation, namely, the determination of reasons for wastage as given in reply to a questionnaire by the students concerned, which is confined to students of the Commerce Department for the session 1955-6, has now been completed and the following is an account of the survey and a summary of the results.Previous work in this field has been confined to enquiries among students still in attendance at a Technical College and the wider problem of contacting the 'leaver' does not appear to have had sufficient attention.There is no reason for assuming that 'drawbacks' to attendance at evening classes as given by students still in attendance are similar to reasons for leaving given by those who discontinue their course (the 'leavers').Consideration of this aspect prompted the present investigation.
