Unidad Educativa Juan Batista Vásquez was established on 17 August 1892 in
Azogues (Azuay province), as Colegio San Francisco de Asís, and inaugurated on
12 October 1892 by the President of the Republic, Luis Cordero Crespo
(1833-1912; in office, 1892-1895). The management of the college was granted to
the Oblates, a congregation founded in France on 25 January 1816 by St. Eugène
de Mazenod (1782-1861; canonized on 3 December 1995 by Pope John Paul II) and
established in the town of Azogues since 1884, on 9 October 1892. The school was
renamed on 24 October 1904 for Senator Juan Batista Vásquez (1821-1906), who
served as the Rector of the University of Cuenca.

The yellow stripe symbolizes the nobleness of the ideals and commitments of
the institute's members.
The red stripe symbolizes the valiance emphasized in
every day's work and competitions.
The sun represents the ancestral,
local identity, and the energy powering our universe.
The burning torch
represents fire of inextinguishable progress, maintained by the faith of its
holders and illuminating the triumph roads the alumni will follow in the future.
