World recovery
I am unable to recover a few lost worlds due to ubrupt closing and uninstalling. How do I fix this?

I'm so sorry to hear that you can't find your worlds. If you are on a PC, Minecraft: Education Edition worlds are stored locally on your device you may still be able to find the world files here:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Education Edition\games\com.mojang\minecraftWorlds
The tricky part of this is that the world folders are listed with a "GUID", which is a series of letters and numbers that don't correlate to the world name that you'd recognize. Here what I would suggest to find the world and see if you can still open it:
-Sort the minecraftWorlds folder by date and try to pinpoint the time you were last in the world
-Open the folder that has a date/time close to the last time you were in the world
-Open the file called "levelname.txt" in a text editor to see the name of the world. If it's the world you are looking for, close the file and move to the next step
-Copy the entire folder for this world to your desktop, or another convenient location
-Open the folder in this new location, select all of the files in the directory, right click and then select "Send to Compressed (zipped) folder"
-A new file with extension ".zip" will show up in this folder. Move this .zip file to the desktop, or another convenient location
-Rename the .zip file to "[WORLDNAME].mcworld" - WORLDNAME is a name you choose that is recognizeable to you
-Double click on this file, and Minecraft: Education Edition will launch
If you're worried losing worlds in the future, it's a great idea to export and save your worlds after every session. https://minecrafteducation.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/3600014279480
