Although this may be covered with the use of {wa'Hu'}, I would still use
a suffix like {-pu'} or {-ta} on {jIghojqa'} to indicate that the
action was completed.
jIghojqa'ta'
I do not claim to be more correct, I merely offer what I would have
done.

Although you are correct that verbs of saying (say, tell, ask, etc.) do
not require the use of {'e'} or {net}, but I do not see how this relates
to your sentence regarding studying at school.
