Institución Educativa Manuela Beltrán originated in a class established in
1954 in borough Manrique Oriental, Medellín, and incorporated, as Escuela
Manuela Beltrán, on 28 November 1959 by Decree No. 20. The institute was
transformed in 1996 into Colegio Manuela Beltrán. Institución Educativa Manuela
Beltrán was established on 27 November 2002 by Departmental Resolution No.
16,188, incorporating Escuela San José.
http://www.iemanuelabeltran.edu.co
- Institute's website
Like several other educational institutes in
Colombia, a university included, the institute is named for Manuela Beltrán,
considered by the national historiography as the first heroin of emancipation
from the Spanish colonial rule. On 16 March 1781, some 2,000 demonstrators
rallied in front of the town hall of El Socorro to protest against new taxes
established to fund the war against England. Manuela Beltrán,a farmer who sold
products on the market, tore into pieces the municipal order that fixed the
taxes. The elite of the town set up an alliance with the craftsmen, the
merchants and the small landowners and established the Junta del Común;
accordingly, the insurrection that broke out and spread all over New Granada was
known of the revolt of the Comuneros.
Francisco de Miranda, then staying in
Europe, recognized Manuela Beltrán's act as decisive for the initiation of the
insurrection. There is no other information on Manuela Beltrán - it is not known
whether she was executed with the other leaders of the insurrection after its
suppression.

Biografías y Vidas
The flag of I.E. Manuela Beltrán is horizontally
divided into three stripes, whose respective width cannot be accurately guessed
from the source photo.
The upper and lower stripe are royal blue,
representing the ability of the human being to overcome difficulties. The upper
stripe is charged with three white stars (1 and 2) representing responsibility,
honesty, and solidarity expressed by the educational community.
The central
stripe is white, representing the personal and social peace aspired to by the
institute. The stripe is charged with a broad celestial blue strip, itself
charged with two thin white stripes near the top and the bottom, respectively.
Celestial blue is a symbol of respect as the foundation of coexistence. In the
center of the flag is placed a white disk, of diameter equal to the width of the
celestial blue stripe, charged with a blue stylized owl representing knowledge
and perseverance.

In the website of the university reported above they only say
that the colors of the flag are white and red and some drawing
that is not a flag is shown, suggesting a horizontal divided
flag. In <www.umb.edu.co>
, there is a picture of the flag and a link to an animated
version. This animated version is horizontal white over
red, with the emblem. The photograph is from a stand flag
but it seems to be diagonal divided, white on the top-hoist and
red on the fly-bottom, and includes the emblem (set diagonally so
at it looks right in the stand flag).
The flag I have seen flying is diagonally divided, with no emblem. Let me
confirm, I am pretty sure it is diagonally divided but last time I checked there
was no wind (and I was driving) so I am not sure on the disposition of the
colors.
