Another way of putting it is that there is an income gap between men and women (beta1 is significant) but that the gap does not significantly vary with the level of education.

"The effect of education on income for men is not significantly different from the effect of education on income for women."
and/or
"The effect of gender on income for higher educated person is not significantly different from the effect of gender on income for the lower educated."
BTW, if this example were the result of an application with a German data set, I would distrust the result, because the returns from education tend to be higher for men than for women.
