According to images included in a social media post by LeFaso.net (a news
agency in Burkina Faso), the flag of the École National de Sous-Officier de
Gendarmerie, a school for cadets in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, is as follows:
A horizontal bicolour of red and green, with a yellow star in the centre. In
the top stripe are the words “GENDARMERIE NATIONALE,” written on in the shape of
an arc, and “PRO PATRIA PRO LEGE.” Within the bottom stripe are the words are
the words “ECOLE NATIONALE DE SOUS-OFFICIER DE GENDARMERIE,” split between two
lines of text. The accent in “école” is not used. The flag is surrounded by a
border of yellow tassels.
I made the reconstruction of the flag based on
the images posted:

The Prytanée Militaire de Kadiogo (PMK) is a military school located 15km
from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Multiple sources confirm that its flag is as
follows:
A horizontal bicolour of red and green, with a yellow star in
the centre. In the top stripe is written “PRYTANEE MILITAIRE DE KADIOGO,” and in
the bottom stripe is written “S’INSTRUIRE POUR MIEUX SERVIR,” which roughly
translates to “Learn for Better Service.” The flag is surrounded by yellow
tassels.
