I'm translating a research paper. Below is an excerpt from it.
"As evidenced in Table 2, in 1900 Orthodox Christians accounted for 88% of the student body in this sector (96.5% combined with members of other Christian denominations). The remaining 3.5% was accounted for by Jews. There were no Muslims. By 1913, i.e. the last pre-war year, Orthodox Christians accounted for 83.3% of the sector’s student body (93% combined with members of other Christian denominations). The remaining 7% was accounted for by Jews (6%) and Muslims (1%). Of note is that the education of the region’s Jewish children was characterized by relative permanence – i.e., most of them would go on to the next grade level. This was not the case with Muslim children. Specifically, in 1907–1909, secondary school was attended in Sukhumi District by Muslim boys only. In 1910, it was attended by 1 boy and 1 girl (the first time that a Muslim female attended secondary school in the region)."
Is 'attended' correct here or should it be 'had attended'? Personally, I wouldn't use 'had' here.
