Summary/Abstract: In the course of COVID-19 epidemic the Hungarian educational government also had numerous challenges. Today we have not enough concrete knowledge to say that hard measures are conductive to mitigate the effects of the epidemic or not. The most important condition of the continuation of education is the dominant role of the modern pedagogical culture in the educational system. In Hungary this condition is not ready. The causes of this situation we have to seek in the educational policy. The rising of inequality of opportunity was appreciable on the whole World, in our country too. The closures of schools caused more significant lagging in learning processes and outcomes in the case of handicapped students. Educational policy and administration had no any answer to this serious problem.
