One of my year 3 students found a fix for when using iOS 13 and not being able open a mcworld file that has been emailed or airdropped. If the student had a copy of normal Minecraft on their iOS device it would default and open there and not give an option to open in edu. 

Her fix was to go into the normal Minecraft then go to settings go to video then scroll down and change the edition to class under UI. They were then presented with the option when a file is sent to them to open it in either edu or normal Minecraft. Hope this helps others having this issue as I was at a loss.

  Hi, I found another workaround to import worlds into iOS 13 iPads.

  Select the world file in the iOS file manager, select share, go for "more..." and look for a sharing target called "Copy to Minecraft: Education Edition". Add the item to your favourite share targets if you like. Finally select "Copy to Minecraft: Education Edition" and MC:EE automatically imports the world file.

  Chripstoph, could you please verify what versions you have for iPadOS and Minecraft?
  
  I'm on iPadOS 13.3 and Minexraft EE 1.12.5, and "Copy to Minecraft: Education Edition" does not appear as a share target, not even under "More...".
