image by Ivan Sache, 10 July 2014

Colegio Departamental Luis Carlos Gálan Sarmiento is based in Ciudad Porfia, part of the municipality of Villavicencio (Meta Department). The institute is named after Luis Carlos Gálan Sarmiento (1943-1989), a Colombian journalist and liberal politician, murdered by hitmen, probably hired by the drug cartels, during a demonstration in Soacha (Cundinamarca Department).

The flag of the institute is horizontally divided red-white-red-white-red-white-red with a white triangle placed along the hoist and charged with the institute's emblem. The flag, designed by the student Miguel Angel Melo Cujiņo, was selected in an internal contest organized in 2009. The text says that the flag is made of eight red stripes and four white stripes, while the drawing shows it with four red stripes and three white stripes. Red is a symbol of the blood shed for liberty and independence, and of Luis Carlos Gálan Sarmiento's thought. White is a symbol of peace.

The emblem of the institute is made of four main elements: the flags of Colombia and of Meta Department, the bust of Luis Carlos Gálan Sarmiento, and flowers, twigs and leaves. The bust of Luis Carlos Gálan Sarmiento is a symbol of the institute's philosophy and educational principles. The vegetal elements represent the natural environment surrounding the institute and the immensity of the plain. Yellow is a symbol of the resources and of the prosperity of the Meta Department.

Luis López de Mesa, Colegio


image by Ivan Sache, 03 July 2014

Colegio Luis López de Mesa was established in 1930 in Barrancabermeja (Santander Department) to teach the children of the North American workers hired by the Tropical Oil Co. Originally known as Staff Ecopetro, the institute was renamed Colegio Directivo de Ecopetrol in 1959. The today's name of the institute should have been adopted in a public contest organized in 1967; however, the unexpected death of the noted teacher Luis López de Mesa caused the cancellation of the contest and the naming of the institute for him.
Ecopetrol transferred in 2013 the management of the institute to the Aspaen (Asociación para la Enseñanza) association, established on 1 September 1964, grouping now 25 institutes in eight Colombian towns under the spiritual influence, some say control, of Opus Dei.
The flag of the institute is vertically divided blue-white-blue with a thin yellow stripe between each field, and the emblem of the institute in the middle. Blue is a symbol of the local resources and progress opportunities, and of creativity. White is a symbol of aspiration to peace and liberty, of transparency and purity. Yellow is a symbol of the vitality of the soil and of the people.

The emblem of the institute is yellow and blue. Yellow represents the adults, as the symbol of intellect, light,  guidance, force, willingness and stimulus. Blue represents the students, as the symbol of the development of intelligence and of emotions, of infinity and of creams. The upper part of the emblem represents light radiating over the way to knowledge and spiritual transcendency.
