"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).

The flag of the institute,
as shown graphically and described on the website

Blue symbolizes nature, source of life, and the commitment to
protect it through an intimate connivence with it and our
neighbour. Red recalls us love, energy and passion
required to study, teach, live and fullfill our mission in the
service of the society and of our country.
The emblem of the institute is circular and divided into four
equal parts. The upper left part is charged with a representation
of the earth, meaning that we should be prepared to be citizens

"Instituto Técnico Industrial Piloto" (ITIPI) was
founded in 1939 in Bogotá as "Escuela Complementaria de
Espacializacion Artistica". Renamed "Instituto Popular
de Cultura" in 1949, the institute was given its current
name in 1954.
The flag of ITIPI, as shown graphically on the website
of the institute, is horizontally divided white-green with
the emblem of ITIPI in the middle.
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.

grey-green upper stripe and a dark blue lower stripe, but these
shades need to be confirmed (or corrected).
