things like time, motivation, and availability of learning material are now more important.

And ability to learn.

Could this spark a significant education gap between English speakers and non-speakers?

The greater the gap, the greater the incentive for non-speakers to narrow the gap by becoming speakers.

Yes, but only if the gap is known to exist.
