Escuela Urbana de Varones Mariano Ospina Rodríguez, located in Chinácota
(Department of Norte de Santander), was founded, as Escuela Pública de Varones ,
on 29 January 1908 by Eliseo Delgado and Antonio Bautista. In 1913, the
Municipal Council (Decree No. 5) granted a plot where the new Escuela Modelo de
Varones would be built and the required funding; the new building was
inaugurated on 10 January 1914. Subsequently changed to Escuela de Varones No.1.
(1931) and Grupo de Varones Antonio Ricaurte (1942), the name of the institute
was restored to Escuela Modelo de Varones in 1952. In 1960, it was renamed for
President of the Republic Mariano Ospina Rodríguez (1857-1861), whose government
supported educational institutes in Colombia.
The flag of Escuela Urbana de Varones Mariano Ospina Rodríguez is described on
the institute's website as horizontally divided light blue-white-green, with
dimensions 1.50 m x 1.75 (that is, proportions 6:7). Light blue means the
nobleness of the children's' spirit and triggers reflection, and evokes as well
the immensity of the sky and the sea. Considered as a cold color, blue keeps a
strong force, tranquillity and freshness that pushes to the background the
negative feelings of sadness, depression and loneliness. White, the color of the
central stripe, symbolizes the purity of the children's' spirit, evoking both
the children and their teachers; it is also the symbol of peace. Green,
the color of the third stripe, means hope that the alumni will be future
contributors of a new, better homeland. Designed by Alicia Rubio de Durán, Edgar
Emiro Lemus, Hermelina Buitrago de Camacho and Nancy Camacho Buitrago, the flag
was hoisted for the first time on 11 November 1989, during the opening ceremony
of the celebration of the Diamond Jubilee of the institute.

The Instituto Virrey Solis was founded in Bucaramanga on 3
February 1941 by members of the Franciscan Community. Its goal
was to provide poor children with a religious, moral and material
education. The first director of the Instituto was Friar Emilio
Bautista Lozano (1941-1944). The flag of the Colegio is
horizontally divided yellow-red with the coat of arms of the
Colegio in the middle. Yellow and green are the colours of the
municipal flag of Bucaramanga. Yellow stands for the treasures of
knowledge, science, feelings and values. Green stands for the
hope that the youth educated in the Colegio will build a new
society mainly based on justice and peace; green also staznds for
the love of nature, the legacy of the patron saints of the
ecologists, St. Francis of Assise. The crown above the shield
stands for the man who gave his name to the Collegio, the Virrey
Solis (the Sun Vice-Roy?), and symbolizes leadership. The collar
surrounding the shied has three knots symbolizing the three vows
of obedience, poverty and chastity done by the members of the
community that rules the Colegio. Over a background with the
colours of our flag (yellow and green), the cross symbolizes the
Christian denomiunation of the Colegio. An arm holding a torch
appears from the bottom of the shield, expression learning,
knowledge and enlightment. The scroll below the shield bears the
Colegio's motto Virtud y Ciencia (Virtue and Science),
which are the basis of the education in the Colegio. The anthem
of the Colegio has its third stanza dedicated to the flag of the
Collegio: "Como un campo de esmeralda que la aurora
en luz bano, verde y oro, sacro emblema nuestra ruta ilumino.
verde y oro! flota altivo Nuestro fúlgido pendón: Esperanza y
luz del cielo que ilumina el corazón!" (Like a field
of emeralds Bathed in the light of dawn, Green and gold, sacred
emblem illuminate our way Green and gold! May our ? banner flay:
Hope and light of the sky Which illuminate the heart!).
