In this beginner-friendly guide from SpaceRex, you'll discover how NAS can transform your video editing workflow. From its collaborative advantages to its ability to protect critical data, this learning tool will walk you through the essentials of setting up and optimizing a NAS system. But it's not all smooth sailing—NAS does come with its challenges, and we'll explore those too, helping you decide if it's the right fit for your needs. Whether you're curious about how NAS compares to traditional storage solutions like DAS or wondering how to configure a system for local and remote editing, this guide has you covered. The question isn't just whether NAS can improve your workflow—it's how far it can take your creative potential. NAS for Video Editing What is NAS and How Does it Compare to DAS? NAS is a dedicated storage device connected to a network, designed to provide shared access to files for multiple users. Unlike DAS, which connects directly to a single computer via USB or Thunderbolt, NAS operates independently, allowing multiple devices to access shared data simultaneously. This independence makes NAS particularly well-suited for collaborative workflows, where teams need to work on shared projects without duplicating files across individual systems. In contrast, DAS is often more straightforward to set up and may offer faster performance for single users due to its direct connection. However, it lacks the scalability and collaborative features that NAS provides. For video editing teams or projects requiring shared access, NAS is the more practical choice. Why Choose NAS for Video Editing? NAS offers several distinct advantages that make it an excellent choice for video editing, especially for teams or complex projects: Centralized Storage: All project files are stored in one location, making sure that everyone on the network has access to the same data.

Himachal's education reforms: Blueprint that reversed decline
In an era where education reform is often reduced to political tokenism, Himachal Pradesh has quietly redefined the narrative. The hill state's leap from rank 21 in the 2021 National Achievement Survey (NAS) to fifth in 2025 reflects a structural overhaul that prioritised learning outcomes over populism. Himachal's earlier achievements in education faded post-2017, with a notable dip in 2021 after the pandemic. But 2025 marks an inflection point. Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu reversed the decline with reforms focused on foundational learning, administrative rationalisation, and outcomes-based governance. (HT File) While Punjab claimed the top spot in NAS 2024, India's most credible assessment of student learning covering Classes 3, 6, and 9, Himachal's turnaround stands out. Weather and security challenges hinder Jammu and Kashmir, while Delhi struggles with governance issues and high migrant enrolment. Himachal's success, however, comes from within: Reforms, political will, and data-backed strategies. Himachal's earlier achievements in education faded post-2017, with a notable dip in 2021 after the pandemic. But 2025 marks an inflection point. Chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu reversed the decline with reforms focused on foundational learning, administrative rationalisation, and outcomes-based governance. Sukhu's boldest move was politically risky but necessary: The closing down of 1,160 non-functional schools, comprising 911 primary, 220 middle, 14 high, and 15 senior secondary institutions, that had negligible enrolment or existed only on paper. His predecessors had avoided such action, fearing backlash from MLAs and local lobbies. Six structural shifts Himachal's NAS success is rooted in six core structural shifts. First, school mergers for efficiency. More than 1,000 low-enrolment schools were merged, rationalising staff, reducing overheads, and enabling viable class structures. Second, a unified education directorate. A streamlined command now governs education from pre-primary to Class 12. By separating school and college education, administrative turf wars have ended. Third, introducing English from Grade 1. Himachal leapfrogged national trends by introducing English as the medium of instruction from the first grade, boosting early language skills and employability. Fourth, freedom in uniforms. Schools can now decide their uniforms, fostering a sense of ownership, identity, and student engagement. Fifth, global exposure. Select students and teachers are taken abroad to infuse global best practices and raise aspirations. And finally, cluster-based management. Schools are now grouped into academic clusters for shared resources, collaborative learning, and better monitoring. The NAS 2025 has endorsed these reforms through: Foundational literacy as Grade 3 students, under the NIPUN Bharat Mission, performed well, showing early learning improvements; public sector outperformance as government schools outshone private ones with girl and rural students surpassing national averages; and new district leaders, namely Hamirpur (79%) and Sirmaur (77%) leading Grade 3 scores and Lahaul and Spiti topping Grades 6 and 9, bucking the usual urban advantage. Despite the gains, challenges persist. Only 26% of teachers attended the continuous professional development (CPD) sessions, a red flag for future quality. Just 30% of schools have facilities for children with special needs (CWSN), and only 35% have trained teachers for them. Issues, such as bullying and peer exclusion, remain prevalent, calling for stronger mental health support. A mere 41% of students opted for vocational courses despite 45% of schools offering them, pointing to an interest-industry disconnect. Road to NAS 2027 To break into the top three, the state needs to refine its approach by institutionalising competency-based learning. The NAS data must feed into school improvement plans and teacher training. The education department must move beyond token workshops to embedded, ongoing professional development. It should bridge skill-interest gaps by partnering with local industries and sector skill councils to align vocational education with real-world demands and ensure inclusive campuses by expanding infrastructure for CWSN and scale up initiatives like Manodarpan for student wellness. Since the first pilot NAS in 2001, Himachal's education trajectory has mirrored the evolution of Indian school assessments. From early-stage diagnostics to equity-focused analysis (2012–14), to post-pandemic realignment in 2021, the NAS 2025 stands as Himachal's breakout moment. The transformation reflects sustained responsiveness to national policies, especially the New Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Himachal's journey from stagnation to resurgence is the outcome of political will, bold decisions, and a shift from rhetoric to reform. kstomar7@ (The writer is a Shimla-based freelance contributor.

Centre's school education assessment flags learning gaps—Maths least favourite, govt schools lag behind
Conducted by the Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development (PARAKH)—an independent body under NCERT and Union Ministry of Education—the survey report released Tuesday showed that Mathematics was the subject where students across all three assessed grades performed the lowest. The PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan, formerly known as the National Achievement Survey (NAS), was conducted on 4 December last year, covering 21,15,022 students from both government and private schools in Grades 3, 6 and 9, across 74,229 schools in 781 districts, spanning 36 States and Union Territories. New Delhi: Highlighting serious learning gaps in the subject of Mathematics among school students, a government survey has found that less than 60 percent of Class 3 students could fluently perform addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers, with less than 50 percent of Class 6 students able to recognise simple number patterns, like odd and even numbers. Additionally, only 28 percent of Class 9 students could understand and apply the concept of percentages to solve problems. The survey was revised last year in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The last NAS in 2021 covered Classes 3, 4, 5, 8 and 10. Under the revamped format, it now assesses Classes 3, 6, and 9—marking the beginning of each stage of schooling as outlined in the new policy. In Class 3, where students were assessed in both Language and Mathematics, the average score in Language was 64 percent, compared to 60 percent in Mathematics. The survey showed that average performance in Mathematics declined as students progressed through higher grades. Language performance also showed a downward trend. In Class 6, an additional subject—'The World Around Us'—was introduced alongside Language and Mathematics. Students scored lowest in Mathematics (46 percent), while Language averaged 57 percent, and The World Around Us scored 49 percent nationally. The World Around Us covers the environment and society. It describes the use of natural resources in our immediate surroundings, and basic social and behavioural norms, among others. In case of class 9, students were assessed in Language, Mathematics, Science and Social Science. Among the four subjects, Language had the highest average score (54 percent), while Mathematics had the lowest (37 percent). Science and Social Science showed equal average performances at 40 percent. According to Indrani Bhaduri, programme coordinator, CEO and head of PARAKH, the performance of Class 3 students has improved since the previous NAS in 2021, when the average Mathematics score was 57 percent. However, she said that the previous NAS surveys cannot be compared with this one because of the overall change in assessment method. 'In almost all states, the performance of Class 3 has improved due to the NIPUN Bharat initiative. It is only a few states that are pulling down the national average,' she told ThePrint. NIPUN Bharat initiative, or National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy, was launched as part of NEP 2020. For higher classes, Bhaduri said, the impact of NEP 2020 will take more time to reflect in student outcomes, as learning levels were significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. 'This trend is visible in international assessments like PISA and TIMSS, where higher grades—those most affected by the pandemic—have shown consistently lower performance,' she said. In terms of state-wise performance, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala and Chandigarh were among the top performers, while Meghalaya, Lakshadweep and Uttarakhand recorded the lowest scores across all classes. The report said that instances where less than 50 percent of students were able to answer correctly indicate 'learning gaps'. 'These learning gaps highlight the need for focused interventions to strengthen students' skills, refine instructional strategies, and provide additional learning support. Addressing these areas effectively will help improve overall student learning outcomes in the nation,' the report read. Also Read: CBSE releases final two board exam policy for class 10, makes first option mandatory; second optional Govt schools lag in Mathematics In case of Class 3, central government schools recorded the lowest performance in Mathematics. Scheduled Tribe (ST) students had the lowest scores across both subjects. Other Backward Class (OBC) and Scheduled Caste (SC) students performed at similar levels, with better outcomes in Language, compared to Mathematics. Similarly, in case of Class 6, government-aided and state government schools showed weaker performance, especially in Mathematics. In terms of social groups, ST students had the lowest overall scores, Mathematics being the most challenging for them. OBC and SC students recorded moderate performance, with better outcomes in Language than in The World Around Us and Mathematics. In Class 9 as well, state government and government-aided schools recorded the lowest performance in Mathematics. ST students had the lowest scores across all subjects, with the largest gaps observed in Mathematics. 'SC and OBC students performed similarly, with Language being their strongest subject and Mathematics the weakest across all social groups,' the report read. A significant rural-urban divide was also observed. While Class 3 students in rural areas performed better in both subjects, Classes 6 and 9 students in urban areas outperformed their rural counterparts across all subjects. In his message in the report, School Education Secretary Sanjay Kumar said that the survey helped 'identify both our achievements and the challenges that lie ahead'. Moving beyond assessment, the next phase aims to 'translate the findings of the PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024 into meaningful actions', he added, which will involve phased data sharing through workshops at national, regional, state and district levels to 'prepare district-specific roadmaps, where roles and responsibilities are clearly defined'. 'Support will come from layered interventions—short-, mid-, and long-term—including teacher training, community engagement, digital materials, and a Management Information System,' he said. Science & Social Science also challenging Only 36 percent of Class 9 students could correctly classify matter based on physical properties (such as state, shape, transparency, magnetism, conductivity) and chemical properties (including purity, acidity, metallic nature and composition). Additionally, just 33 percent accurately described how electricity works by manipulating elements in simple circuits, and demonstrated the heating and magnetic effects of electricity. In Social Science, only 33 percent of Class 9 students could explain key natural phenomena, such as climate, weather, ocean cycles, soil formation, and river flow, along with their spatial distribution. Meanwhile, 45 percent understood the process of the Indian Constitution's formation, and grasped the ideas and ideals of the Indian National Movement, including those rooted in India's civilisational heritage. According to the report, the average national score in Social Science for girls was 41 percent, higher than boys at 39 percent. However, in Science, boys scored marginally higher with an average of 41 percent, compared to girls' 39 percent.

Move to streamline 12 million addresses nationwide
Addressing issues: Fahmi (right) and his deputy Teo Nie Ching at the Malaysia Address Conference in Kuala them are Principal Assistant State Secretary Maznah Mahat (left). — SAMUEL ONG/The Star KUALA LUMPUR: A unified National Address System (NAS) that will streamline more than 12 million addresses nationwide is set to be rolled out soon, a move aimed at tackling long-standing issues of inaccurate and inconsistent address data across the public and private sectors. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the significant reform, mooted by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, would resolve the widespread discrepancies in address information used by various agencies and organisations. 'The core focus of the NAS is to ensure that every address in Malaysia is identifiable and traceable through accurate means,' Fahmi said after launching the Malaysia Address Conference 2025 yesterday. He explained that the NAS will serve as a centralised and standardised database for both government agencies and businesses, enabling more efficient coordination, faster deliveries, and improved emergency response times. Currently, various agencies and businesses rely on different address databases, which often leads to inefficiencies and inaccuracies, he said. Fahmi added that the reform is projected to generate RM2bil in economic spillover and create more than 2,000 jobs over the next five years, particularly in sectors related to address management, based on analysis by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission. The system, he said, would not only improve day-to-day operations but also prove critical during disasters such as floods, where precise location data is vital for identifying affected areas. While centralising addresses may appear mundane, Fahmi stressed that the implications are far-reaching. 'When I first took office, I didn't think this was a pressing issue. But after multiple discussions, I discovered just how fragmented our address systems are. A single person or entity might have different addresses. 'Every address should belong to its rightful owner. The many agencies out there do not have standardised information, and this has led to significant issues in daily dealings, such as delays or failed deliveries,' he said. The government has spent about RM700mil to date on geospatial and navigation services to obtain location information outsourced from third parties.
