You reported this flag about 10 years ago at first time, and you wrote: "Its
flag is horizontally divided yellow-green." But flag image you posted is a
white-green flag.
Now you also reported that this flag was horizontally divided yellow-green, but
the linked (archived) page shows a white-green flag.
Do you have any other source having a description about a yellow-green flag?
Zoltan Horvath, 20 September 2014
The "yellow-green" is clearly a mistaken, which has to be corrected for "white-green".
The only source is the archived website, showing a white-green flag.

Colegio Antonio Nariño was established in Bogota on 8 February 1932. In 1964,
following the death of Cecilia Marroquín, owner and director of the institute
since 1938, the institute was transferred to the Congregation of the Brothers of
the Sacred Heart, founded in 1821 in France by the Reverend André Coindre
(1787-1826), and established in Bogota since 1890. The new owners decided to
maintain the original name of the institute.
The flag of the institute is
horizontally divided red-white-red (1:3:1). Red is a symbol of the ardor of the
youth, of the energy of the beginning of life, and of the push to initiate the
struggle for surpassing and for a better word. White is a symbol of the purity
of mind, of morality and peace.

"Institución Educativa Departamental 'Antonio
Nariño'" was founded in Bogotá in 1959 by the Department
of Cundinamarca (Decree No. 334) as "Colegio Departamantal
del Magisterio". In 1965, the institute moved to a brand new
seat and was renamed "Colegio Departamental 'Antonio
Nariño'" on 3 April 1965 (Decree No. 363).
On 9 April 1975, the institute was relocated to its present site
at Canelón, Municipality of Cajicá, Department of Cundinamarca.
The flag of the institute,
as shown graphically and described on the website
of the institute, is in proportions 3:5, red with a white
triangle placed along the lower edge of the flag and reaching its
upper edge, The upper half of the triangle is blue and the emblem
of the institute, with a crest made of five yellow teeth, is
placed in the triangle.
The triangle represents the permanent and unidirectional
projection forming the teaching process, involving three
components: the students, the teachers and the supports of
knowledge. It symbolizes also equality, perfection and
projection.
The sun symbolizes eternity, greatness, power, providence,
nobleness, fame and magnificence.
Yellow symbolizes the sun and its traditional meanings:
nobleness, wealth, power, light, constancy and knowledge.
Blue symbolizes the sky and its traditional meanings: justice,
truth, loyalty, charity and beauty.
Red symbolizes fire and its traditional meanings: strength,
victory, temerity, highness and ardor.
White symbolizes the moon and its traditional meanings: purity,
integrity, obedience, firmness, vigilance, eloquence and victory.
Black symbolizes the power and its traditional meanings:
prudence, sadness, rigor, honesty and obedience.
The flag was designed by Humberto Gómez Contreras and
Miguel Oswald Martínez Palacio.
The shield of the institute is quartered. The upper left quarter
shows a portrait of "The Sphinx", the famous Antonio
Nariño, after whom the institute was named. The upper right
quarter shows the map of Colombia with a handshake, which means
"Committed to the building of a better homeland". The
lower left quarter show the Olympic rings, representing sports.
The lower right quarter shows a book, representing knowledge. The
escutcheon in the middle is made of the shield of Cundinamarca.
The shield is placed on a disk representing planet Earth and
charged with the name of the institute. A scroll placed below the
disk is charged with the names of the municipality and
department. The colours, yellow, blue, red, are those of the
national flag of Colombia.
The emblem was designed by Javier Alfonso Cárdenas Alonso.
On the drawing of the flag, the emblem is shown in black and
white, with a red outline for the disk, scroll and quarters of
the shield. This seems to be a gross approximation, since another
drawing of the emblem shows it with blue background, yellow
quarters, white letters and red outlines. The emblem of
Cundinamarca is placed on a white disk.
However, on a photo
showing very partially the flag (and completely the emblem), the
letters appear in black, like on the drawing, and not in white!

"Institución Educativa Municipal 'Antonio Nariño'"
(INEDAN) is located at Pasto, Department of Nariño.
The flag of the institute, as shown graphically and described by
Luis Eduardo Alvarez (the designer of the flag and emblem,
together with Giovanni Chamorro) on the website
of the institute, is horizontally divided blue-white-yellow
with a green triangle placed along the hoist and covering one
third of the flag length. The overall proportions are specified
as 1:2.
The blue stripe represents stability, depth and clarity of the
institutional horizon, linked to intelligence, knowledge and
sincerity.
The white stripe represents perfection and acts enlightened by
God.
The yellow stripe represents the sun light, joy, intelligence and
energy involved in the educational and cultural acts.
The green triangle represents hope, exuberance, fertility and
freshness characteristic of the natural environment of Pasto.
The municipal flag of Pasto has the
same design, but with different colours. This may not be purely
coincidental.
