Institución Educativa Almirante Padilla (INEALPA) was established in February
1943 in Riohacha (La Guajira Department), as as Departmental institute. This was
the first educational institute established in La Guajira. The institute was
nationalized by Law No. 20 of 23 November 1947. The institute is named for
Admiral José Prudencio Padilla López (1784-1828), who obtained on 1 December
1821 the surrender of the Spanish garrison of Cartagena and defeated the Spanish
troops on 24 July 1823 at Lake Maracaibo. Involved in the September Plot against
Simón Bolívar, Padilla was sentenced to death and executed.
The flag of the institute is shown in the institute's Constitution (PEI) as
horizontally divided white-blue.
White is a symbol of peace and heavens.
Blue is a symbol of the beauty of La Guajira peninsula, made of the
union of the sea and the sky.
However, the institute's emblem, also shown in the Constitution, features the
flag as horizontally divided blue-white, Photos of the flag in actual use seems
to indicate that the two versions are used.
