Institución Educativa Provenza is located in Bucaramanga. Founded in 1970,
the institute was renamed in 1993 Concentración Escolar Provenza, in 1997

Provenza.
The flag of the institute is shown graphically on the
institute's
website as horizontally divided white-green-blue with the emblem of the
institute in the green stripe. Photos taken during official flag ceremonies show
that the website's drawing is erroneous:
- The stripe should not be of equal height but with repsective proportions
1:1:2;
- The emblem should not be inscribed within the green stripe.
The best view of the flag can be seen on photos taken on 23 September 2008:

At least, they show a flag that looks different. I'm not sure; I'd say that
the flag goes further up the table, and also that it's not really hanging out at
the bottom. I'd go for 2:1:3, I think. Note also neighbouring
http://cid-08a28efee98ad9c3.photos.live.com/self.aspx/.res/.............6922,
where a Columbian flag is in the same position. A flag with tilted arms, BTW,
including a ring bearing lettering, though in a different font from the one we
have). The emblem should be on the dividing line between green and blue,
presumably in the centre of the flag. This specimen also has a green fringe.
