Actually, the translation of the name of this institution
should read 'School of Nursing of the Educational and
Technological University of Colombia.

"Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia" (UPTC) was founded in 1953
in Tunja (Boyacá Department); UPTC has today sections in Duitama, Sogamoso and
Chiquinquirá (Boyacá Department. UPTC is formed of the Faculties of Agronomical
Sciences, Basic Sciences, Education Sciences, Economical and Administrative
Sciences, Health Sciences, Law, and Engineering, and of three Secion Faculties
located in the secondary sections of the University.
The flag of UPTC, as shown graphically and described on the UPTC website, is
quartered black-ochre. Black represents decency, modesty, discretion, commitment
to the service and the defence of the sovereign homeland. It represents the
shyness of our citizens and the discretion of the women. Ochre recalls that the
Tunja lands, seemingly arid, bore the first wheat grain ever in Colombia. Ochre
also represents maize, the most important staple food of the Muisca culture, and
the sun that was venerated by our ancestors.

The flag of the School of Nursing, designed by the student Olga Marina

The emblem of the School of Nursing is an oil lamp as used in 1200 by
St. Catherine of Sienna [indeed the nurses' patron saint, but she
lived in 1347-1380, not in 1200] during the black plague epidemic; the
saint visited nightly sick people, using the lamp to find her way
through the town's streets. The oil lamp has been used since them when
watching over sick people in hospitals, convents, asylums and all
kinds of health institutes. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the
pioneer of modern nursing, used such a lamp during the Crimean War
(1853-1856) in her nightly rounds and was nicknamed "The Lady with the
Lamp". The oil lamp is a symbol of light, clarity, knowledge and hope.

one half of the flag's hoist. White represents the human being as a person and
his/her required transparency. Light blue represents the greatness and immensity
of heavens, as well as the importance of education in the institute. Green
represents the natural environment and the contrast experienced by the human
being facing the world.

"Fundación Gimnasio Pereira" is a girls' institute
located at Pereira, Department of Risaralda.
The institute was founded on 11 February 1947 by Arturo Vallejo,
Manuel Mejia, Manuel Uribe and Pablo Ramirez. After the death of
the first Director of the institute, Carlota Sánchez Marín, on
26 August 1958, the institute was transformed into a foundation
to avoid an economical crisis. The patron of the institute is St.
Thérèse of the Child Jesus.
The flag of the institute
was adopted after a competition won by Beatriz Toro (student in
1947-1957). The flag is beige with a red saltire and the coat of
arms of the institute in the middle. On the photo of the flag,
the coat of arms is tilted to the upper left corner (so that its
vertical axis is parallel to the descending diagonal of the
flag). The flag is 1.06 m x 2.40 m, the width of the arms of the
saltire being 10 cm.
Beige represents force, vigor and hope, while red represents
unity and love.
The flag shall be equipped with red tassels.
The first flag was made by the "RR. MM. Adoratrices" (I
guess, religious) of the town of Pereira.
The coat of arms of the institute was created by Jorge Roa
Martínez. The shield is vertically divided blue (for the
feminine grace, elegance and seriousness) and red (for love,
solidarity and social democracy) and crossed by a yellow bend
(for the precious gift of science and knowledge) charged with the
black letters "G" and "P" (for "Gimnasio
Pereira").
A white swan placed in the lower part of the blue field
represents the feminine grace; a white tower masoned black placed
in the upper part of the red field represents virtue.
The shield is surmonted by a white scroll charged with the motto
(in Spanish) "POR LA GRACIA Y LA VIRTUD" (For Grace and
Virtue).

"Instituto Técnico Industrial Piloto" (ITIPI) was
founded in 1939 in Bogotá as "Escuela Complementaria de
Espacializacion Artistica". Renamed "Instituto Popular

name in 1954.

The emblem of ITIPI is a white disk surrounded by a green ring
charged with "I.E.D. INSTITUTO TECNICO INDUSTRIAL PILOTO /
BOGOTA" in white letters and charged with a green device
presumably recalling the acronym of the institute and (my own
interpretation) a calliper rule.

"Escuela Normal Superior de Pitalito" was founded on
30 April 1950 in Pitalito, Department of Huila, succeeding
"Colegio San Antonio", founded in 1927.
A competition for the flag of the institute was organized in
1975, the year of the silver jubilee of the institute. The winner
was student Fernando Antonio Rincón Trujillo, who proposed a
flag with three equal, green-white-red stripes. Green represents
the valley of Laboyos. White represents the traditional
hospitality, generosity and good customs of the inhabitants of
the region. Red symbolizes the vitality and strength of the youth
studying at the institute. The arrangement of the stripes is,
unfortunately, not given.

August 1983. The Foundation manages a botanical garden dedicated

The flag of the FUP is horizontally divided in three equal
stripes, whose colours cannot be ascertained from the source
quoted below. For the attached image, I have selected a
grey-green upper stripe and a dark blue lower stripe, but these
shades need to be confirmed (or corrected).

Institución Educativa Provenza is located in Bucaramanga. Founded in 1970,
the institute was renamed in 1993 Concentración Escolar Provenza, in 1997
Colegio Básico Provenza, and, eventually, in 2004, Institución Educativa
Provenza.
The flag of the institute is shown graphically on the
institute's
website as horizontally divided white-green-blue with the emblem of the
institute in the green stripe. Photos taken during official flag ceremonies show
that the website's drawing is erroneous:
- The stripe should not be of equal height but with repsective proportions
1:1:2;
- The emblem should not be inscribed within the green stripe.
The best view of the flag can be seen on photos taken on 23 September 2008:

The emblem of the institute is a green-bordered shield divided blue-white by the
ascending diagonal, six white Olympic rings in the blue half, a white open book
outlined in black in the white half, around the shield the blue writing "COMPROMISIO"
(Compromise, left), "CIENCIA" (Science, top), and "LIDERAZGO" (Leadership,
right); the whole placed on a white disk with a circular border outlined in blue
and charged with the green writing "INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA PROVENZA" (top) "BUCARAMANGA"
(bottom).

At least, they show a flag that looks different. I'm not sure; I'd say that
the flag goes further up the table, and also that it's not really hanging out at
the bottom. I'd go for 2:1:3, I think. Note also neighbouring
http://cid-08a28efee98ad9c3.photos.live.com/self.aspx/.res/.............6922,
where a Columbian flag is in the same position. A flag with tilted arms, BTW,
including a ring bearing lettering, though in a different font from the one we
have). The emblem should be on the dividing line between green and blue,
presumably in the centre of the flag. This specimen also has a green fringe.

"Instituto Tecnológico del Putumayo" (ITP) was
created on 11 December 1989 (Law No. 65). ITP has its main seat
in the town of Mocoa and a secondary one in the town of Sibundoy.
The flag of ITP is shown
graphically and described on the ITP
website. The flag and the emblem of ITP were adopted after a
competition held at ITP and approved on 17 April 1996 (Decree No.
007). Designed by Luís Hernando Henao, the flag is rectangular,
divided into two equal parts by a rainbow. The upper left part is
sea blue while the lower part is green. The black letters
"ITP" are placed in the middle of the flag. There is a
small black border in the upper and lower parts of the flag.
The rainbow, also surrounding the emblem of ITP, represents the
biodiversity obtained from light in its brightest colours. Blue
represents the water resources of the region, green represents
the abundant vegetation and the black stripes the mineral
resources.
