I believe Arrival and Departure are ambiguous and mean different things to different people - see discussion in #161

What on earth is "Move"?

"Education" seems to have been replaced with "Scholastic Achievement". I believe the former is a better term for an Event since there may not have been any "achievement" to record; whereas "Scholastic Achievement" is more like a characteristic of the Person (ie a Fact). For example: Education:"She went to XYZ university between 1931 and 1934" vs Scholastic Achievement:"She attained a PhD in theoretical physics". In genealogy I believe we tend to find more info on education than achievements (e.g. many Censuses specify "scholar" for children)
