The Education series takes its name from the central theme depicted on the obverse of the note, paying tribute to the Singaporean education system, a fundamental pillar of the nation's development since its independence. This series is one of the most iconic issues of contemporary Singaporean fiat currency, reflecting the country's national values and priorities.

The 2 dollar banknote is distinguished by its dominant purple colour, a characteristic specific to this denomination within the series. The obverse features the portrait of Singapore's first President, Yusof bin Ishak, an iconic figure on modern Singaporean banknotes. The reverse depicts representations related to the theme of education, illustrating children engaged in learning as well as architectural elements associated with the country's educational institutions.

The GD series refers to the serial number prefix specific to this issue, enabling the identification and traceability of banknotes within the overall production. This series is in line with Singapore's monetary policy aimed at maintaining high-quality banknotes incorporating modern security features, such as security threads, watermarks and raised printing elements.
