"Colegio Distrital Santa Librada" is located at
Bogotá. The college is named after St. Librada (Liberata,
Livrade...), aka St. Wilgefortis, aka St. Uncomber, the patron
saint of women wishing to be "disuncombered" from
abusive husbands. Known as "the bearded virgin" but
without any historic background, the poor saint was removed from
the list of commemorated saints by the Roman Catholic Church in
1969.
The flag of the
institute, as shown graphically and described on the website
of the institute, is slightly higher than wide, white with an
aquamarine triangle pointing downwards charged with a white
rising sun. An alternative interpretation of the drawing is a
triangular light aquamarine flag with a white rising sun.
The sun represents light, energy, joy, commitment and solidarity
of all the members of the institute. White represents peace,
unity and the interest of the institute. Aquamarine
represents tranquillity, future, strength and commitment to study
of the students.

From university
web site, we learn the meaning of the green colour. Green is
a bright colour symbolizing hope and a chromatic sign evoking the
opening of man towards all possible constructions, utopia, the
best for society, all implicit elements in the educative task.

Faculty of Law and Political Sciences, University Santiago of Cali - The image of the flag, shown
without comments on the aforementioned website, is a bit
problematic. The flag is made of three horizontal stripes,
blue-white-green, and a vertical pink stripe is placed along the
hoist. The overall proportion of the image is 100:222, but
excluding the vertical stripe, we have a 1:2 flag! The colours
seem also to be weird, especially the pink, but they are derived
from the University shield, which is shown with a blue field, a
green border and pink writings.

"Institución Educativa Departamental 'Santiago
Pérez'", based at Zipaquirá, Department of Cundinamraca,
was recognized on 29 September 1975, as "Colegio
Departamental 'Santiago Pérez'", by the Department of
Cundinamarca (Decree No. 31054); classes started on 1 February
1976. The current institute was formed on 30 September 2002
(Decree No. 3395) by the merging of "Colegio Departamental
'Santiago Pérez'", "Jardín Infantil 'Carrusel'"
and "Colegio Básico Portachuelo"
The flag of the institute, according to photos taken in 2008 and
the description available on the website of the institute, is
horizontally divided light blue-yellow-red (1:2:1) with the
emblem of the institute in the middle of the yellow stripe.
The flag and arms of the institute were approved by the Rector on
5 August 1976 - but the flag is subsequently said to have been
designed by teacher Fabio Restrepo Parra in 1977!
The colours are the same as on the flags of Colombia and
Cundinamarca. Blue represents the celeste heavens and the
crystalline waters of Zipaquirá. Yellow represents the resources
of the soil, as gold mined by the first inhabitants and local,
modern agriculture based on wheat cropping. Red represents the
"torrents of blood" shed by the local martyres for
peace, independence and liberty.
The emblem of the institute is circular, emerald green to
represent the aspirations of the students and of the Colombian
youth and the natural resources of the mountains surrounding the
valleys of Zipaquirá, Ubaté and Chiquinquirá (that is,
emeralds). The interlaced letters "C",
"S", "P" and "Z" recall the name of
the institute "Colegio Santiago Perez Zipaquirá". The
white "Z" symbolizes the colonial, salt-mining town of
Zipaquirá. The extreme parts of the letters mark the four main
compass directions. The white ring surrounding the emblem
represents candor and purity of the inhabitants of Zipaquirá and
innocence of the students. "DPTO. DE CUNDINAMARCA" is
written in golden letters on the ring.
This is how the emblem appears on the flag photographied in 2008,
see for instance here.
The symbols'
page on the website of the institute shows three different
representations of the emblem, none of which exactly matches the
emblem actually used on the flag, and a graphic of the flag with
the most recent emblem, with letters "I",
"S", "P" and"Z" reflecting the new
name of the institute and the name of the department dropped from
the border. See also photo
gallery.
