Well, students are allowed wands because they're
actively learning the use of magic under supervision. 
The fact that Hagrid's was snapped in half upon his
expulsion from Hogwarts indicates that if you're not
trained or in-training you're not allowed a wand.  

However, now that Hagrid's name has been cleared, I
think it would be amusing if Hagrid could start taking
some classes in order to get a GED or something. [g]
There's no reason why he shouldn't be allowed to start
back where he stopped, IMO.  'Course, Hagrid was
expelled in his third year, which would make him about
even with Ginny if he were to go back now.  Can you
picture him trying to look inconspicuous in the back
of the class? :)
