Colegio Alemán de Maracaibo started in 1926 as Colegio Alemán (German School),
the first foreign - but not restricted to the German community - school in
Maracaibo. Closed in 1942, the institute was reinstated in 1952 as Colegio
Alemán del Zulia, eventually renamed on 7 January 1967 Colegio Alemán de
Maracaibo. The institute is managed by the non-profit association Deutscher
Schulverein Maracaibo (Maracaibo German School Association).
The flag of Colegio Alemán de Maracaibo, as shown graphically on the
institute's website, is white
with the coat of arms of the institute in the middle.
The coat of arms of Colegio Alemán de Maracaibo is "Quarterly, 1. A Venezuelan
flag, 2. Vert an open book argent, 3. Azure an owl argent, 4. A German flag."
The name of the institute is written in black letters above the shield. The
Venezuelan flag is shown here with seven stars, while having been added another
star in 2006; whether the institute's coat of arms and flag was updated
accordingly, or not, is unknown to me.

All these Missions and Sub Missions are sponsored with financial aid
from PDVSA. However, there are some critics on the
matter, since some Cuban and Venezuelan doctors overflowed Spanish speaking
countries (Latin American as well as Spain) with below average paid fees, and
some of these doctors even defected and denounced they were being used as modern
slaves by Venezuela in order to pay Cuba's foreign debt. The other main focus of
criticism is its financing in the long term, since oil prices have been falling
and these government subsidies can no longer satisfy the labor demand nor the
needed supplies for the population.

The flag of "Misión Sucre" is the logo over a white horizontal flag.
It
is more likely that each Mission (and Sub Mission) has its own flag.

Universidad Central de Venezuela (Central University of
Venezuela; founded 1721).
Description: A white field (although sometimes light yellow or
even beige are used; there are no official specifications to this
flag besides the ones I'm giving) with the Seal of the University
and the date "1721" (date it was founded) on royal blue
(embroidered under the seal on roman type letters). The seal
consists of a few Academic and National symbols: Encircled by the
words "*Universidad Central* Caracas-Venezuela", we see
seven stars (as the ones in the national flag) over a shining oil
lamp (which symbolises enlightment and sums up the University's
motto: "the house that overcomes the shadows") which
sits on two books (philosophy and science), old papers and an
inkpot with a pen on a book (history). Branches of Coffee and Palm
encircle the lower part of the arrangement (as a connection to
the tropical reality the University stands in).
Guillermo T. Aveledo, 21 December 1999
The official website of UCV presents the flags of the Faculties as
"rectangular flags with the Faculty emblem in the middle (non official), or,
with the UCV emblem in upper hoist (official)". The colors of the flags are
given as follows:
- Agronomy: Green
- Architecture and Urbanism: Sky blue
- Sciences: Beige
- Economic and Social Sciences: Wine red
- Law and Political Sciences: Blood red
- Veterinary Sciences: Light yellow
- Pharmacy: Orange
- Humanities and Education: Gray
- Engineering: Electric blue
- Medicine: Yellow
- Odontology: Purple.
This is, with shade variations, the same (national?) color scheme as used by the
Faculties of "Universitad del Zulia". There is a
photo of the flag row

Néstor Garrido of Venezimbol presented the flag of the
Catholic University Andrés Bello (Universidad Católica Andrés
Bello). Its dimensions are not regulated. Its symbology is as
follows:
The flag is a horizontal triband of equal dimensions: blue, white
and yellow in descending order. Blue and white are the colors of
the Virgin Mary, and at the same time, white and yellow are the
Vatican’s colors, that certifies the Catholic and Marian
character of this University. The shade of blue is a dark sky
blue.
Blas Delgado Ortiz, 20 April 2002
Universidad Católica Andrés Bello (UCAB), founded in October
1953, has three campuses in Caracas (main seat), Guayana and
Coro. It is a private University granted in 1951 by the
Venezuelan Episcopacy to the Society of Jesus.
The University is named after the humanist, poet, philologist and
lawmaker Andrés de Jesús María y José Bello López
(1781-1865).
The flag appears to be also used as the chief of the shield of
the University.

Historic outline: The first university in Carabobo
was created in Valencia in 1833 by a
Decree of President of the Republic, General José A. Paez, as
Colegio de Carabobo. The college was renamed Colegio Nacional de
Carabobo in 1870 by Special Decree of the President, General
Antonio Guzmán Blanco. However, the College was closed in 3
October 1874 following economical and political difficulties.
In 1880, Engineer Lino Revenga started the building of the seat
of a new university (today the Faculty of Law); on 15 November
1892, a Decree by the President, General Joaquín Crespo, created
the Ilustre Universidad de Valencia. General Cipriano Castro
closed the University by Decree on 1904. On 12 March 1915, the
Constutional President of the State of Carabobo, Emilio
Fernández, founded by Decree the Instituto Oficial de Ciencias
Políticas, named Miguel José Sanz after the founder of the
first Law College in Venezuela. On 13 December 1949, the
Institute was incorporated into the Law Faculty of the Universidad Central de Venezuela.
On 21 March 1958, Decree No 100 of the Governing Junta, presided
by Rear Admiral Wolfgang Larrazabal, (re)founded the Universidad
de Carabobo.
Symbols: The flag of Universidad de Carabobo is made of three
equal horizontal stripes, gold (symbolizing faith), green
(symbolizing liberty), and purple (symbolizing culture). These
colours are the official colours of the University; they are also
used in the three quarters of the shield of the University, which
is placed in the canton of the flag. The shield is rectangular,
in "Spanish" style with a point in base. It is made of
two upper quarters of equal size and one bigger lower quarter.
The upper left quarter depicts the Annunciation, on a golden
background representing faith. The upper right quarter represents
the column prescribed by the Cúcuta Congress to commemorate the
Battle of Carabobo. On the column is the writing "24 de
junio de 1821" (24 June 1821). The background of the column
is a sun with yellow rays in a blue sky and a green pampa. The
two upper quarters are separated from the lower quarter by a
black stripe bearing two years in Roman numerlas, MDCCCXCII
(1892, year of creation of the University by Joaquín Crespo) and
MCMLVIII (1958, year of refoundation of the University). The
lower quarter shows the facade of the former University of
Valencia, today the Faculty of Law of the University of Carabobo,
designed by Lino J. Revenga; the building is surmonted by a
purple sky. The chief of the shield bears the
motto "Deus, Libertas, Cultura" (God,
Liberty, Culture), written in white Capital letters on a blacjk
background; the lower border of the shield bears the writing
"Universitas Carabobensis", the name of the University
in Latin.
Source: <www.uc.edu.ve>.
Legislation: Chapter III of the regulation on the symbols of the
University says the colour are 'Oro, Verde y Purpura',
symbolizing faith, liberty, and culture, respectively (Article
5). The flag shall be hoisted on all buidings belonging to the
University (Faculties, Schools, Institutes, and Centers) on
Memorial Day of the reopening of the University and ceremony days
dedicated to professors, students, employees and other members of
the University (Article 7). The use of the flag in other
instances is subjected to the authorization by the Rector of the
University (Article 8).
