Colegio Palermo de San José was established on 17 January 1943 by Antonio
Henao (d. 1986), the parish priest of El Pobladao (Medellin) and Mother María
Olivia (1918-2004), an Austrian-born nun from the Congregation of the Franciscan
Missionary Sisters of Mary Help of Christians, established in Ecuador by the
Swiss-born nun St. Maria Bernarda Bütler (1848-1924; canonized on 12 October
2008 by Pope Benedict XVI). Blessed on 19 March 1943, St. Joseph's Day, the
institute was relocated in 1945 in the Palermo estate, purchased one year
before.
The flag of the institute is presented as horizontally divided yellow-blue. The
image shows the institute's emblem in the middle of the flag, while the written
description mentions only the two stripes. There is no photographical evidence
that the flags in actual use are charged with the emblem.
Yellow is a symbol of the love for the Eucharist, of struggle for surpassing,
and of universal fraternity. Blue is a symbol of love for Mary Help of
Christians.
The emblem of the institute was designed by Sister Gregoria Dücks. It is made of
a yellow disk with a blue border inscribed with "COLEGIO PALERMO DE SAN JOSE"
(top) and "MEDELLIN" (bottom). Inside the disk is a white parchment, a symbol of
truth and transparency. The yellow stars represent high ideals and goals. The
lamp is a symbol of force and tenacity, of the light of Christ, of enthusiasm,
joy, and Franciscan kindness. The monogram refers to the name of the institute.
The books are a symbol of science.

should read 'School of Nursing of the Educational and
Technological University of Colombia.
Ron Lahav, 4 December 2008
"Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia" (UPTC) was founded in 1953
in Tunja (Boyacá Department); UPTC has today sections in Duitama, Sogamoso and
Chiquinquirá (Boyacá Department. UPTC is formed of the Faculties of Agronomical
Sciences, Basic Sciences, Education Sciences, Economical and Administrative
Sciences, Health Sciences, Law, and Engineering, and of three Secion Faculties
located in the secondary sections of the University.
The flag of UPTC, as shown graphically and described on the UPTC website, is
quartered black-ochre. Black represents decency, modesty, discretion, commitment
to the service and the defence of the sovereign homeland. It represents the
shyness of our citizens and the discretion of the women. Ochre recalls that the
Tunja lands, seemingly arid, bore the first wheat grain ever in Colombia. Ochre
also represents maize, the most important staple food of the Muisca culture, and
the sun that was venerated by our ancestors.

The emblem of the School of Nursing is an oil lamp as used in 1200 by
St. Catherine of Sienna [indeed the nurses' patron saint, but she
lived in 1347-1380, not in 1200] during the black plague epidemic; the
saint visited nightly sick people, using the lamp to find her way
through the town's streets. The oil lamp has been used since them when
watching over sick people in hospitals, convents, asylums and all
kinds of health institutes. Florence Nightingale (1820-1910), the
pioneer of modern nursing, used such a lamp during the Crimean War
(1853-1856) in her nightly rounds and was nicknamed "The Lady with the
Lamp". The oil lamp is a symbol of light, clarity, knowledge and hope.

"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).
