One of these points being education.All through the book you see the party making absurd rules, regulations and statements. Members of the minstry of truth are forced to change history everyday. All of this done just to control/fool the people. In my opinion George Orwell is trying to stress the importance of education.Education is the key to life.In the book the party takes all these actions to keep the citizens unaware. The more uneducated the citizens are the easier it is to manipulate and control the people.
