The process by which glial cells are generated. This includes the production of glial progenitors and their differentiation into mature glia. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of cell proliferation. Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of a cellular process, any of those that are carried out at the cellular level, but are not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of neurogenesis, the origin and formation of neurons. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia. 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. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of cell proliferation. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of gliogenesis, the formation of mature glia.
