The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process specifically pertinent to the functioning of integrated living units: cells, tissues, organs, and organisms. A process is a collection of molecular events with a defined beginning and end. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Any process that stops or decreases the rate or extent of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population. The multiplication or reproduction of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells by cell division, resulting in the expansion of their population. Oligodendrocyte progenitors give rise to oligodendrocytes, which form the insulating myelin sheath of axons in the central nervous system. Generation of cells within the nervous system.
