Mister MicawberNo.
If severe here does not imply "serious and worrying", would you please simply explain what it implies?

P.S: If something is serious and worrying it is 100% or 99% a problem.

Thank you.

Secondary schools are extremely overcrowded.

It is only a problem if overcrowding is considered to be bad.
I would consider it so, but that is a personal attitude.
