I doubt that squibs would get any more schooling at all after primary.

Firstly, they would still be part of the wizard community, so there

secondary education, apart from learning magic, so squibs must:

learn some sort of trade within the wizarding world ( theres lots of 
seamingly magic-free professions arent there? I mean the muggle 
liason office only requires one OWL in muggle studdies, for example, 
this could be obtained through a postal course or private 
institution, what are teachers who dont work in hogwarts going to do 
for a living? )become economicaly dependant on their family

They must be allowed to enter into some kind of secondary schooling, at their desire, because canon tells us that Molly Weasley's second cousin was an accountant, but they never talk about him.  I doesn't specifically tell us he's a squib ( at least, I think it doesn't .. I can't find the actual passage in the book), but I really can't assume that someone born into a pureblood family (that isn't born a squib) would totally leave the WW ...
