in 1942 as "Escuela Vocacional Agrícola de Falan", the

Escuela Urbana de Varones Federico Ángel, located in Caldas (Department of
Antioquia) was founded on 20 September 1967 by Departmental Decree No. 536. On
29 January 2003 (Decree No. 595), the institute was merged with Colegio José
María Bernal and renamed Institución Educativa José María Bernal Sección
Federico Ángel. On 24 February 2005 (Decree No. 1954), the section became
Institución Educativa Federico Ángel. The institute is named for Federico Ángel,
a noted educationalist from Caldas.
The flag of the institute is presented as follows on the institute's website:
"The flag is made of three horizontal stripes of equal size. The upper and lower
stripes are blue. Blue symbolizes the commitment in the quest of knowledge, the
care for a better future, the serenity required to solve conflicts and liberty
of speaking, thinking and acting. The central stripe is white. White symbolizes
transparency required from all the members of the educational community, as well
as the youth educated in the institute, therefore its central location on the
flag.
The flag to be used in public places, celebrations and civic ceremonies shall
have the emblem of the institute placed in the middle."
The photo placed below the description shows the flag without the emblem.

The slideshow presenting the institute, dated 20 October 2010, shows a graphic
depiction of the flag with the emblem. However, it includes photos showing
different official stands or parades with the flag consistently without the
emblem. Accordingly, the prescribed flag including the institute's emblem does
not seem to be used frequently, provided it actually exists.

The emblem of the institute is presented as follows on the institute's website:
"The shield of the institute is trapezoid, divided into three quarters with the
colours of the municipal flag of Caldas. The upper quarter shows on a green
field an open book. The lower left quarter shows on a yellow field a hand
holding the globe. The lower right quarter shows on a red field a hand holding
an Olympic flame. The upper part of the emblem is inscribed with the institute's
name [in red letters].
The lower part of the emblem [indeed a white scroll placed below the shield] is
inscribed with the motto "SER - CONOCER - HACER" (To be - To know - To do) [The
lower part of the emblem is inscribed with "Caldas Antioquia" in red letters.]
The trapezoid is flanked on each side by the flag of the institute, the two
flags being crossed per saltire below the shield.
The colours of Caldas used in the shield emphasizes the institute's sense of
belonging to the municipality. The open book represents knowledge, wisdom and
investigating spirit as the standard of the academic work. The hand holding the
globe represents personal growth, tenacity and perseverance, the harmony between
Man and Earth, and the respect of nature as a source of life.The hand holding a
torch represents sportive spirit, recreation and joy, as constituting parts of
the institute. The motto summarizes the institute's mission and vision."

The College was founded in 1946 as Escuela (School) Federico
Ozanam. I have not been able to find out where it is located,
however. Frédéric Ozanam (Milano, 1813 - Marseilles, 1853) was
a French historian and writer. In 1833, he founded the St.
Vincent-de-Paul Society. He rejoined the French Republic in 1848
and founded with Lacordaire the Christian-Democrat newspaper
L'Ere Nouvelle (The New Era, 1848-1849).
The flag of the College is described but not shown as
horizontally divided yellow-blue (amarillo-azul). Therefore I
have used default 2:3 proportion in my image.

"Instituto Nacional de Educación Media Diversificada
'Felipe Pérez'" (INEM) was founded in February 1972 in
Pereira, Department of Risaralda.
The institute is named after the politican, lawmaker, writer and
journalist Felipe Pérez (1830-1891), successively appointed
Governor of Zipaquirá and Cundinamarca, Senator of the Republic,
President of the Congress, General, Chief of Staff of the Army
etc...
The flag of INEM,
according to a photo and the description available on the website
of the institute, is white with the emblem of INEM in the
middle. The flag was designed by the Department of Physical
Education in 1975 for the first Interinstitute Games.
The emblem of INEM is a white triangle outlined in
black-yellow-green, charged with the red letters "INEM"
surmonted with a yellow device. "FELIPE PEREZ" is
written in white letters on a blue scroll placed under the
emblem, under which a second, yellow scroll bears
"PEREIRA" in black letters. The whole is inscribed in a
red ring with white writing, probably the full name of the
institute.

"Institución Felipe Salame" is located in Rovira (Tolima Department). The
flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described on the institute's
website, is horizontally divided red-white-green. The original flag of the
institute was green and white; in 2005, the teacher Edel Miguel Rubio, finding
the original design too boring, proposed to add a red stripe. Red represents
valor and strength; white represents peace, tranquillity and harmony; green
represents the fields, mountains and landscapes.

Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander - 5:9 (apparently)
flag, horizontally divided white-black-orange-light green
(12:1:1:1). The name of the University, in black, is placed in
the white stripe, above the logo of the University.
Flag shown on <www.ufps.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, which says (in Spanish):
'There is obviously an historical gap: we don't know according to
which process the flag which currently flies in the Benefactors'
Park was adopted as the official flag of the University.'

The flag of the Franciscan College Fray Rafael de la Serna is
horizontally divided yellow-green. From the flying flag shown on
<www.frayrafael.edu.co>,
located by Dov Gutterman, the default proportion of the
flag seems to be 1:2.
The college was founded in 1941 in Medellin,
Antioquia and its first name was Instituto Cristobal Colon. By
ministerial order #1610 from 6 June 1953, the college was renamed
as a tribute to the Franciscan friar who founded the University
of Antioquia. YYellow symbolizes the spiritual resources, spirit
and the department of Antioquia. Green
symbolizes the hope in the youth and the exuberant vegetation of
Antioquia. It is said that the dimensions of the flag are
precise, but not what they are indeed.
