Institución Educativa Departamental Aquileo Parra (IEDAP) was originally
established in Pacho (Cundinamarca Department) by Municipal Agreement No. 52 of
11 December 1996, as Liceo Aquileo Parra. Classes started on 17 February 1997.
The institute is named for Aquileo Parra, President of the United States of
Colombia from 1876 to 1878, who died on 1 January 1900 in La Ferrería borough,
part of the municipality of Pacho.
The flag of IEDAP is horizontally divided blue-light blue-green, crossed by an
orange ascending diagonal stripe and charged in the middle with the institute's
emblem. Blue is a symbol of force and loyalty. Light blue is a symbol of virtue
and peace. Green is a symbol of hope and of the natural environment. Orange is a
symbol of joy and dynamism.
The emblem of IEDAP is "polychromous, harmonic, and with environmental
connotation". The circular emblem is a symbol of integration; the yellow
circular border is a symbol of knowledge and wealth. The two red stars represent
virtue and dynamic conscience. The sun is a source of energy and a symbol of
transparency. The monogram is the synthesis of a watch tower and of a
telecommunication tower. The atom is a symbol of science. The ball is a symbol
of games and sports. The colours have the same meaning as on the flag. White is
a symbol of virtue. Red is a symbol of love and energy.

"Fundación Universitaria del Área
Andina" was founded in 1994 in Pereira, Department of
Risaralda. It is made of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty
of Administration, Marketing and Design, and Faculty of Law,
Social and Human Sciences.
The website
of the institute shows a photo of a table flag of the
institute, horizontally divided green-white, with the emblem of
the university "superimposed". The emblem clearly does
not exist on this particular flag but was added subsequently to
the image, therefore it is not possible to conclude about the
existence of a flag with the emblem.

The coat of arms was designed by Mother Alicia David Ramírez. The mountain shown
in the background represents the mountain of La Verna (Spanish, Alvernia),
offerred on 8 May 1213 by Count Orlando da Chiusi to St. Francis of Assisi; the
saint retired there and received the stigmata a few years later. The Sanctuary
of La Verna was built on the mountain in 1348-1459. The mountain further
symbolizes love offered by St. Francis of Assisi.
The flaming torch and cross shown in the upper left of the shield represents the
"Christ's light" and the virtue provided by science. The table with five books,
one of them being open, shown in the lower part of the shield, represents
science supported by God's word. The base of the shield is charged with the
institute's monogram, made of the interlaced letters "CA".
