description The health crisis caused by the COVID pandemic-19 has had a profound impact on all areas of human life, and especially in education, with consequences that in many cases can be irreversible, specific in terms of social justice and equity, since the current situation seems to have exacerbated educational inequalities. These inequalities are reflected in the lack of equal opportunities for access, teaching and results, in many cases, as a result of the digital divide that became evident when moving from face-to-face education to a virtual modality. That is why this theoretical and descriptive work conducts a review of literature about social justice in education in Spain with projection towards an immediate post-pandemic future. The analysis of the revised work shows that there are still many outstanding challenges that the Spanish education system faces, but perhaps the most important is to correct or alleviate at least the inequality of educational opportunities, bearing in mind that the digital divide is only another side - the most visible - of inequality. Resumen La crisis sanitaria ocasionada por la pandemia de COVID-19 ha impactado profundamente en todos los ámbitos de la vida humana, y muy especialmente en el educativo, con consecuencias que en muchos casos pueden ser irreversibles, especialmente en términos de justicia social y equidad, ya que la situación actual parece haber exacerbado las desigualdades educativas. Esas desigualdades quedan reflejadas en la falta de igualdad de oportunidades de acceso, enseñanza y resultados, en muchos casos, como producto de la brecha digital que se hizo evidente al pasar de una educación presencial a una modalidad virtual. Es por ello que en este trabajo de tipo teórico y descriptivo se realiza una revisión de la literatura sobre el tema de la justicia social en la educación en España con proyección hacia un futuro inmediato de post pandemia. El análisis de los trabajos revisados pone evidencia que quedan aun muchos retos y desafíos pendientes que el sistema educativo español debe afrontar, pero tal vez el más importante es corregir o paliar al menos, la desigualdad de oportunidades educativas, teniendo en cuenta que la brecha digital no es más que otra cara -la más visible- de la desigualdad.
