image by Ivan Sache, 14 December 2014

Institución Educativa Técnica Industrial José Maria Córdoba was established in El Santuario (Antioquia Department) by State Law No. 80 of 29 November 1962, promulgated on 19 December 1962, as Escuela de Artes y Oficios. Merged by Decree with Liceo San Luis Gonzaga in 1969, the institute recovered its autonomy in 1971 on a juridical basis: the Decree that had invalidated the original State Law was declared null and void (because a Law can be invalidated only by another Law, not by a Decree). The school was renamed Instituto Técnico Industrial Nacional (ITIN) in 1978. In 1979, President of the Republic Julio César Turbay Ayala (1978-1982), when visiting the town for the commemoration of the 150 years of death of General José María Córdoba (1799-1829), decided to rename the institute for the general, a hero of the Wars of Independence against Spain - also the namesake of Córdoba Department. Institución Educativa Técnica Industrial José Maria Córdoba was eventually established by Departmental Resolution No. 696 of 4 February 2003 as the merger of ITIN and Escuela Eusebio María Gómez. The flag of the institute is horizontally divided green-white with the institute's emblem in the middle. The emblem, designed in 1974 by the student Rodrigo Vargas Ramírez, is made of a disk divided green-white according to the ascending diagonal, charged with a pair of compasses and, in base, a flaming torch, and framed by a golden yellow cogwheel inscribed with the institute's name and place.
