Instituto Gabriel García Márquez was established in 1982 in the
Bucarica borough, Floridablanca (Santander). The institute was merged
with
Instituto Caracolí by Resolution No. 331, adopted on 1 October 2004.
The
flag of Instituto Gabriel García Márquez is composed of a rectangle whose
height represents 2/3 of the length. The rectangle is divided into three
horizontal stripes.
The upper stripe, in proportion 1/4 of the total height,
is azure (heraldic blue). This is the dominant color on planet Earth,
symbolizing ecological awareness and quest of balance between mankind and his
home: the Earth, as fundamental aspects of integral education offered by the
institute.
The central stripe, white, in proportion 2/4 of the height,
represents honesty and tolerance, inalienable values for social life. In the
center of this field are placed two yellow butterflies, as a clear reminiscence
of our Nobel Prize in Literature. They also represent the two seats composing
the institute.
The lower stripe, gules (heraldic red), in proportion 1/4 of
the flag's height, symbolizes the tenacity and strength of the educational
community in its quest for excellence.

Manual de Convivencia, Chapter 2.1.
The yellow butterflies are a direct
reference to Mauricio Babilonia, a character of García Márquez' most famous
novel, "One Hundred Years of Solitude", who is constantly swarmed by yellow
butterflies. This unusual characteristic made of Mauricio Babilonia, a secondary
character of the book, an iconic representative of Macondo's magic world
invented by the writer.

Institución Educativa Técnica en Gestión Empresarial Gabriela Mistral is
located in El Cármen de Bolívar (Bolívar Department). The institute is named for
the Chilean poetess Gabriela Mistral (1889-1957), who was awarded in 1945 the
Nobel Prize in literature.
The flag of the institute is horizontally divided white-red with a square blue
canton charged with a white star, that is, similar to the Chilean flag. This is,
most probably, not a mere coincidence but a tribute to the country of the
institute's namesake.

values, and an elevated spirit of participation and democracy.
The coat
of arms of IE General Carlos Albán uses the blue and white colors, representing
the abundance of knowledge, healthy living together and peace promoted by the
educational community. The flag of the Republic of Colombia represents the
fatherland. The flag of Meta Department conveys noble ideals and the valiant
