Enrollment series — Kang / FGV-IBRE 2023 compilation

Long-run Brazilian school enrollment data compiled and harmonized by Kang, Paese & Felix (2021) and refreshed by FGV/IBRE in April 2023. The dataset is the internal backing store consumed by get_enrollment(); end-users should call that function rather than loading this object directly, as it applies filters, label translation, and optional pivoting.
